More information : This refers to the quotation from a letter of Rosmonde Gérard, the poetess, 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 much less than tomorrow”. Inspired by these two lovers, Alphonse Augis took up these verses in his “medals of love” by condensing them into “+ than yesterday – than tomorrow”.
