Villanelle: Who Dares To Doubt Must He Questions Address Fate

Villanelle : Who dares to doubt must he questions address Fate Who dares to doubt must he questions address Fate Let tears on High Holy Mass spill down the Seine Would one propose to the Lord what's not innate Is the Lord's mise en scène an act desperate A dire call to fill Church benches lone vain Who dares to doubt must he questions address Fate Who'd wish the Crown of Thorns be crushed under weight Aging oak high rafter timbers tumble rain Would one propose to the Lord what's not innate Witness the Lord's will red-hot Spire irate Whose felo de se the Flèche pierced heart in pain Who dares to doubt must he questions address Fate Montmartre's severed head Saint Denis lugged Frankish hate Who'll don Louis IX Tunic to rule Louvre brain Would one propose to the Lord what's not innate Could Man his collapsing structure rebuild to date Lord's Agent be or manage the mise en scène Who dares to doubt must he questions address Fate Would one propose to the Lord what's not innate © T.
