I have, since reading Cyrano de Bergerac, been speaking in verse, writing furiously and expressively poetry for those I covet, fighting tooth and nail those who accost my comrades, I’ve been flippant of my own physical shortcomings and harsh of others wrong doings, as such I have come to realize that I emulate Cyrano in every aspect of my life, being an ugly man with a large nose and a passion for words and fighting, one question comes to my mind when addressing this community… Has there been a literary or historic figure that has stuck with you, one who fits so closely your own mannerisms that you find yourself humanizing the idea of that character and trying to be as they were? If so I’d like to know who and why?
