AMUSE BOUCHE
A trifle to amuse - found in reading about François Villon by Wyndham Lewis with preface by Hilaire Belloc -
"Au moistier voy dont suis paroissienne
Paradis paint, ou sont harpes et lus."
(Rossetti)
[Within my parish-cloister I behold
A painted Heaven where harps and lutes adore]
Perhaps referring to the church of Celestines near the Bastille celebrated for its wall paintings of heaven and hell.
