Ballad Of The Ladies Of Yore Comments

A memorable refrain to Villon's ballade, ' Where are the snows of yesteryear? ' Female beauty does not last forever: it melts like the snow.

He lists beautiful women, and wonders where they are now. ' Where are the snows of yesteryear? ' Deservedly, Villon ranks high as a lyric poet.

Echo who speaks when there's a sound On a pond or a river Whose beauty was more than human- - - - - - - - - - -isn't that simply lovely? I love the flow of his poems. I would give it a ten if I were allowed to vote.

Genius exuberance of the soul!
