She saw herself as unimportant, a simple girl in an age of men
She had a vision that changed her view of her worht
She was to be much more than a maiden or a simple girl
In a war for survival she was told she would lead a national revival
She believed when she had every reason to not to do so
She became the Maiden
A symbol around which men would fight
She inspired them to greatness and the invader was repulsed
Causing the invader to take flight
“She(Joan of Arc) put her dreams and her sentiment into her aims, where
they ought to be; she put her practicality into her practice. In modern
Imperial wars, the case is reversed. Our dreams, our aims are always, we
insist, quite practical. It is our practice that is dreamy.”
