Extra Scene I wrote for Cyrano De Bergerac (read the play for more detail))
At the rising of the curtains Cyrano is lying on the ground under the tree, believed to be dead. Roxane is alone sitting on his chair sobbing.
The leaves are still busy falling.”
Scene 6.VI.
Cyrano and Roxane. Then De Guiche, the sisters, and Le Bret.
ROXANE (Through sobs)
My heart is as blue as the sky. My love, my love, I mourn not for the first time, but for a second, although the first time I knew not it was you. Cupid’s arrow has struck my heart for you, and has split it into pieces that could not ever be mended by anyone. ( She gets off the chair and sits by him. She wraps her hands around him, and sobs all the more. She begins to whisper): I swear I shall never love another, for tis impossible. I cannot bear the thought to live without you.
(Cyrano slowly has begun to gain consciousness, and hearing her professions of love and feeling her arms around him has decided to listen for once to what he has waited for and wanted for years and years. His joy was overflowing due to how much she loved him. He was so happy that it was dark enough that she could not see his smile which was growing bigger than the sunrise in the morning.)
I promised that I would mourn Christian too, yet tis you alone whom I will miss and love forevermore. I miss you and your words of poetry and love combined. How could I ever have been so blind, as not to know it was you.
(Cyrano touched by her words and weeping cannot bear it any longer and slowly opened his eyes.)
CYRANO (In whispers)
My love, my love, mourn not for I am with you...
The leaves are still busy falling.”
