Louise de la Vallière, mistress of Louis XIV (c.1667). Jean Nocret (French, 1615-1672). Oil on canvas. Palace of Versailles.

Louise de la Vallière came to the Court of France in 1661 as maid of honour to Henrietta of England, the wife of Monsieur, the King’s brother. Louis XIV pretended to court her to mask his affair with his sister-in-law. Louise soon won him over, however, with her blonde hair and charming smile. She was humble and modest, an accomplished horse rider and had a strong liking for music. Louis made her his mistress, even though he was already married to Maria Theresa of Spain. Versailles, still Louis XIII’s simple hunting lodge at the time, served as a retreat for the lovers.

Kamo Gradeshi

                                           --- to Lois the XIV and the French Enlightenment                                                                  (and to Wordsworth and to Dumas)

The dawn of time in all its shapes

has come to see if we are even;

if we can take the only pledge

to find renounced truth be given.

we want to see you

we want you to come

we want you to be one

we want you to come

we want you

we need you

we see you

are you the one?

She dwelt among the untrodden ways,

Upon the unfairly realms.

We tweet of the only gods

who seek us to be unchanged.

Kamo gradeshi [1], who will you be,

where do you find the holy to be?

Will you be us?

Or will us to be you?

where do we find ‘the’ and ‘only’ truth do?

                                                      She says she knows the time,

                                                      she says she knows the people;

                                                      she knows the only stone

                                                      that has carvings of a spear-dom.

I want to invent the way.

I want to pronounce truth.

I want to evade the scheme

and avoid what the truth is doing.

                                                           she is broken 

                                                     she is unfair

                                               she is an old-hex

                                         she is our undoing

                                 she can only look at the core

                         of the infinite and the unstopping.

Miss Louise de La Vallière [2]

broke the sacred pledge of valor,

as she knew what made the stars

blend-in under the sun of honors.

I don’t pity her

nor I do blame

her betrayal of the innocent.

I can only feel her shame,

as her plain legs

sought no fame.
