Dear Cyrano,
Gifted you are.
And words are your game.
They ought to take far.
And that pen that signs your name
is your sword in your conquest
and a commander at you request
whom only at your orders may rest.
Give then credit to the Mastermind.
it is thy center; they core; thy Heart!
Whom with one word can tear you apart!
Feed it the best of what you may find.
Let it take you in its path,
even if it demanded that you be Blind.
feed it with all that you may find exotic!
Don't neglect!
Don't forget!
What else pierces the heart more then regret!
"Good words quench more then a bucket of water."
-George Herbert

Dear Words,
Today I am finally starting to learn French, the poetic expression of gentlemanliness and politeness. Now is a good time to start my first lesson, Les Salutations, as an introduction.
salut - Hello , Hi
bienvenue - Welcome
bonjour - Good day
bonsoir - Good evening
bonne nuit - Good night
au revoir - Good-bye, bye
à bientôt - See you soon
à toute à l'heure - See you later
s'il vous plaît, s'il te plaît - Please
merci - Thank you
de rien - You're welcome
excusez-moi, pardonnez-moi excuse-moi, pardonne-moi - Excuse me
félicitations - Congratulations
bonne chance - Good luck
Monsieur - Sir
Madame - Madam
Mademoiselle - Miss
Yours,
Cyrano

Nice...
Bonne chance a vous, Monsieur de Bergerac, dans vos efforts d'apprendre encore une autre langue. This from someone who can't keep her foreign language wires from getting crossed, and who can't seem to carry on a conversation in French anymore without absent-mindedly slipping evets, tammams, çok güzels, and mıs into it, to the bewilderment of all...
Anyways, j'espère que vous allez continué ce journal (I'm pretty sure that was gramatically correct).
Bu günlüğünüz devam etmesiniz umarım (this one took me much longer and I'm less certain of it- should it be etmesinizi?)
I hope you continue this journal (this one, at least, is perfect).
Si je peux aider, vous n'avez que demander.

So? That is? That is to say? In other words? Namely? To put it differently?
