Villanelles evoke feelings of nostalgia and longing through their unique combination of repetition, musicality, and emotional persistence. By mirroring the cyclical nature of memory and desire, the form captures the way humans revisit the past and cling to unresolved emotions. The recurring refrains act as emotional touchstones, growing richer and heavier with each return.
