Learn more: The medal mentions the quote taken from a letter by Rosmonde Gérard, the poet, to her love Edmond Rostand, the author of Cyrano de Bergerac: ‘For, you see, each day I love you more, Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.’ Inspired by these two lovers, Alphonse Augis incorporates these lines into his ‘love medals,’ condensing them to ‘+ than yesterday – than tomorrow.’
