Joan of Arc : visions

Here's a quote from the author of Last Year's Man. Make of it what you will.

“I think that, from a certain point of view, my songs are free from meaning and significance. There's not a secret that is being concealed, there's nothing that I am not yielding. It really doesn't have a meaning any more than a diamond has a meaning. The meaning is that it was cut and polished and it produces light.” -- Details for Men, January, 1993
Leonard Cohen

In other words, it's just a song. I thought the tie in with Joan of Arc was perfect.

I think that's not my type of poetry then...

In the real world, there are no such thing as angels; however, whether or not she thought she heard angels matters why?

Was she insane? Who knows?!

You wouldn't say that if you'd seen the Holy Stone of Clonrichert and got a terrific buzz off it.

I’m guessing the absence of proof of magical angels throughout time disproves that Joan heard actual angels.

You know, SCIENCE.

Trust the SCIENCE!

Well, you know better than anyone that Angels are elements of Faith, like all the other religious symbols and elements. Science is scientific, and should be taught in schools.
