Willette ran as an anti-Semitic candidate in the 19th arrondissement of Paris for the 1889 election. Willette often proves pungent and fierce, even heinous, in his odes, being a violent though at the same time a generous partisan of political ideas, furiously compassionate with love and pitiful for people if they are stuck under the spur of political oppression, or are simply victims of unrequited love.
