| | Villanelle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A villanelle (or occasionally villonelle) is a traditional poetic form which entered English-language poetry in the late 1800s from the imitation of French models. | | | While it is sometimes claimed that the form is named for the French poet François Villon (1431–1474), most experts agree that the form derives from a round sung by farmhands and that the name comes from the Latin villa, (farm) and villano (farmhand) via the Italian villanella. | | | The following villanelle by Sylvia Plath illustrates a modern version of the form. |

| | First Defenders: Villanelle D'Valon |
| | Villanelle, though she had only been groomed as a house servant, stepped up to Sindrae, placed her hands on her and - somehow -- healed her enough that she could return to Neriak on her own and seek further healing from a Priestess. | | | When, early in her education, Villanelle asked, a bit confused, how hatred could be a component of healing, she was beaten within an inch of her life, healed only so much that she could safely be beaten again, and so on, until the Priests tired of the lesson. | | | Her methods were a bit unusual at times, in particular her tendency to touch or even caress the wounded person, but she excelled at healing. |

| | Historical Background of the Villanelle Charge |
| | I thought I had a poem by Yeats on my hands because of the the skill with which it was written and because he was the only poet of high caliber that I knew was interested in the occult. | | | The "Villanelle Charge" was probably written before Leland’s Aradia was published, and so this chronology is an attempt to explain how the "Villanelle Charge" could contain lines that so closely relate to ritual of the moon given in Aradia by Leland. | | | The villanelle probably entered England by way of Mary Queen of Scots who had been brought up at the French court of Catherine de Medici and Henri II, and who "delighted in poetry and the poets, most of all in M. de Ronsard, M. du [sic] Bellay...“ (Fraser, 1969, p. |

| | Regardless of where to place responsibility for these views, it is obvious that Villanelle comes off as a positive character who aides her lover to escape from Russia and an asylum, while also having his child, while Mary causes nothing but trouble with her sexual promiscuity and later insanity. | | | The portrayal of the two characters, like opposing sides of a coin, displays a significant gap; Villanelle’s portrayal shows her as a heroine to Henri, while Mary resonates as a veritable archetype of the biblical Eve. | | | Villanelle and Mary also have polar opposite views on their own body image. |

| | This poem is in the form of a villanelle, a French verse form derived from an Italian folk song of the late 15th-early 17th Centuries. | | | Williams's "Villanelle," like Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night," obeys this convention while relating a bereaved, haunted mother's lament over her dead daughter. | | | Originally reserved for pastoral subjects, modern poets from W. Auden ("Time Will Say Nothing") to Dylan Thomas ("Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night") have employed it for more somber subjects. |
