A Little Side Project of Mine
As if I needed another blog! This one’s dedicated to translating some of the never-before-translated work of the French neo-Romantic poet Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac and member of the Académie française.
Everyone knows Cyrano, of course, but much of Rostand’s lyric work has never been read in English before. I’m trying to change that, one poem at a time. ( 7 comments)

Yeah, for really low-down-dirty things bloggers do to each other or say about each other or something like that. Good idea.
Don’t tell me this will turn into a cyberspace verb — “He Whelaned me.”
I think I like Mike’s idea better than mine.

The Whelan Award deserves to exist, but how often would it really be awarded? (A testament to awful what he did actually was, of course.)
maybe andrew can have a sullivan award in honor of promoting the most disgusting rumour on the internet for his continuing smear of sarah palin and her baby trig. sully can be a dick with the best of them.
I once nominated Sullivan for the Moore Award. He never replied.
