THE STORY: Published in 1636, LE CID was held as an ideal work of drama for years by subsequent playwrights. In this tragic coming-of-age story, a young knight is asked to defend his father's honor by challenging his future father-in-law to a duel.

Oh! How unsuccessful we are to hear reason
When the heart is touched by such a charming poison!
As the ill man cherishes his illness so
He cannot bear the idea of letting it go.

Most people here are English-speaking so I guess I'll try and translate (the best I can) every French quote I submit :)
