Quote
In his catalogue of the Bibliothèque dramatique de Monsieur de Soleinne (n° 1177), Paul Lacroix writes: "There's something of Corneille in this author, to whom Corneille sometimes borrows thoughts and verse. This response by Andromaque to Ulysse (La Troade) is sublime: Threat me to live and not to die.
