There is my Lord of Winchester, the princely Cardinal, that died and made no sign. There is the Bishop of Beauvais, clinging to the shelter of thickets. What building is that which hands so rapid are raising? Is it a martyr's scaffold? Will they burn the child of Domrémy a second time? No: it is a tribunal that rises to the clouds; and two nations stand around it, waiting for a trial.
His belief in the advent of Divine vengeance on those who doubted or threatened the awful supremacy of British dominion on land or sea was stimulating to him. Like the Domremy maiden, who saved her king and country, he had "visions and heard voices." Whatever the mission of the French fleet may have been, there was certainly no apparent lust for aggrandizement.
We may judge, therefore, by the uneasiness and extra trouble which they gave to the parson, in what strength the fairies mustered at Domrémy, and, by a satisfactory consequence, how thinly sown with men and women must have been that region even in its inhabited spots.
And against the walls of Orleans the tide of English victory was broken, for there the flag of England went down before the peasant girl who had danced below the Fairy Tree of Domremy, before Joan the Maiden. THE English were besieging Orleans; Joan the Maid drove them from its walls.
"It was the happiness of ignorance," said Jacqueline, after a solemn silence full of hurried thought. "No, I, for one, shall never be as happy as I was then. But my joy will be full of peace and bliss. It will be full of satisfaction, very different, but such as belongs to me, such as I must not do without. God led us from Domrémy, and with me shall He do as seemeth good to Him.
And one of the Council visited Domremy to ferret out all the details that could be got at. Needless to say, all that he heard only redounded to the Maid's credit; nothing transpired which was not honourable to the Maid's character and way of life, and in keeping with the testimony Jean de Metz and Poulangy had given the King at Chinon.
I told them about Fichte losing his positions, writing to his countrymen a wanderer, an awakened soul. And this brought us the hosts of great ones the Burned Ones and their exaltations George Fox and the Maid of Domremy the everlasting spirit behind and above mortal affairs the poor impotency of wood-fire to quench such immortality. Her eyes gleamed and all our hearts burned.
At the same time, Joan of Arc experienced some of the hardships of war when the country around Domremy was overrun by the enemy; and the little household of the Arcs had to fly for shelter to the neighbouring village of Châteauneuf, in Lorraine.
This is parallel to the priestly benediction on 'Fountain Sunday' of the well beneath the Fairy Tree at Domremy, where Jeanne d'Arc was accused of meeting the Good Ladies. Everyone drinks of the water, and there is a sacrifice of rams, ewes, and oxen. A festival follows, as was the use of Domremy in the days of the Maid; then all return to the village.
We never spoke to De Baudricourt of our expedition to Domremy, nor told him that we had seen the Maid again.
