"She is a universal figure who is female; but is neither a queen, nor a courtesan, nor a beauty, nor a mother, nor - until the extremely recent date of 1920 when she was canonised - a saint. She eludes the categories in which women have normally achieved a higher status that gives them immorality, yet she gained it."
Marina Warner, Joan of Arc - The Image of Female Heroism.
"Daydream delusion
Limousine Eyelash
Oh, baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet cakes and milkshakes
I am a delusion angel
I am a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don’t want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we’re going
Launched in life
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I’ll carry you. You’ll carry me
That’s how it could be
Don’t you know me?
Don’t you know me by now?”
