Villanelle: How Many the Men Gone Had Something Yet To Say

Villanelle: How many the men gone had something yet to say How many the men gone had something yet to say Had they not thought found they the answer to Riddle Who had not wished how often to tell them, yes, " Nay ! " Had they not come to some end each in his own way Camus with " suicide " the Riddle he would unravel How many the men gone had something yet to say Think of the millions whose lives they did waylay Seize Life with gusto make every moment sizzle Who had not wished how often to tell them, yes, " Nay ! " The disciple Mottram would lasting values slay Others with less heed to creed their lives in a muddle How many the men gone had something yet to say Can Husserl's Abstract God replace the Yi Jing's sway Do Golden Flower Secrets make men of mettle Who had not wished how often to tell them, yes, " Nay ! " Yang-Yin interplay ephemeral men dismay Find his way he must out of the Maze's puzzle How many the men gone had something yet to say Who had not wished how often to tell them, yes, " Nay ! " © T.
