Context
The famous window-wooing scene for Roxane’s kiss, Christian attempts to woo Roxane with poetry, which he cannot muster. Frustrated, Roxane returns to her room - until Cyrano, in cover of darkness, draws her back out. He attempts to feed Christian lines to help him, but even then, Christian is inept. Cyrano takes his place, and wins over the beautiful Roxane.
