Can you give me a sentence using the word coup?

Answer 1

"I was so sick and faint, so overcome at the brutality of this fiendish sport, that I hardly heard the shouts of "Bravo! bravo!" and the fanfaronade of trumpets...I do not know which astonished me the most, the strikingly curious, brilliant coup d'oeil, the dexterity of the men, the intrepidity of the animals, the miserable unfair play, or the pleasure of the spectators."

-Famous quote by M. E. W. Sherwood-

"To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow ... the coup de grâce for the painter as well as for the picture."

-Famous quote by Pablo Picasso-
