KT and JOAN OF ARC: Sing with me, little sister...
Joan of Arc walks into my mirror,
A burning sword.
I'd like to cry. I look into her eyes.
I see she's seen, the long days and nigh(t).
"Ooh," she says,
"The games are still the same, I see,
But they've changed the names now.
Are all Lionhearts put in parks, apart?"
This is a creature from the lands of Dulac, Poganny and Rockham where trees speak and children become warriors holding the reins of their own destinies. Of course, the boots are too big; they were from a Shakespearean Costumers and along with the deciduous deerskin and the dagger are clues to placing her in time. It is summer, about four in the afternoon and she is tired from school.

Oh! England, my Lionheart!
Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park
You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames
That old river poet that never, ever ends
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in
And keep the tower from tumbling
Edmund Dulac (1882 – 1953) was a French book illustrator prominent during the so called "Golden Age of Illustration (the first quarter or so of the twentieth century). The 22-year old Frenchman was picked up by J.M. Dent and given a commission to illustrate the collected works of the Brontë sisters. Books illustrated by Dulac include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907), an edition of Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908), of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909), The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910), Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911), The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) and Princess Badoura (1913). His style shows some obvious influence of Arthur Rackham, an influence that eventually traveled both ways, and he and Rackham were probably influenced by Swedish Illustrator John Bauer.
William Andrew Pogany (1882-1955) was a Hungarian prolific illustrator of children's and adult books. In London, he produced his four masterpieces, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1910), Richard Wagner's Tannhauser (1911), Parsifal (1912) and Lohengrin (1913). In 1918 he illustrated a children's rewrite of Homer, The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy, retold by Padraic Colum. Pogany's best known works consist of illustrations of classic myths and legends done in the Art Nouveau style. He also worked as an art director on several Hollywood films, including Fashions of 1934 and Dames.
Arthur Rackham (1867 – 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham's haunting and dreamlike style has added to the enchantment and fantasy of the children's literature and his imitators are many. He illustrated books like “Alice in Wonderland,” “Peter Pan,” Fairytales of the brothers Grimm, and also books for adult readers, for example “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and short stories by Edgar Allen Poe.

Who is that girl? Do I know her face?
Who is that girl?
From age 13 Joan of Arc received visions from Saint Margaret of Antioch, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and Michael the Archangel.
Saint Catherine of Alexandria, also known as Saint Catherine of the Wheel, was condemned to death on the breaking wheel (an instrument of torture). According to legend, the wheel itself broke when she touched it, so she was beheaded. Her principal symbol is the spiked wheel, which has become known as the Catherine wheel, and her feast day is celebrated on 25 November by most Christian churches.
Elle parle à Dieu et aux anges dans ses prières
Venez Sainte Catherine et Sainte Marguerite,
Elle a besoin de vous deux.
Ah les voix, les voix du feu,
Chante avec moi petite soeur,
J’entends les voix, les voix.
When the child has found herself the posture has strength, and there is a feeling of permanence. But it is always like that when an octave is complete. And waiting to start the next is adolescence. Changing is, at best, uncomfortable but the same process has to be gone through to make the teenager strong that made the child able to look into the lens with such expression. And the music was coming out.

I won't open boxes
That I am told not to.
I'm not a Pandora.
I'm much more like
That girl in the mirror.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Pandora (1879) and St. Catherine (1857)
