Description
Joan of sh'Arc
by Patrick Pierson
Her brandish'd sword did fairly blind men with her scaly beams; her arms so cloaked spread wider than a dragon's fins; her sparkling eyes, replete with a slimy fire did more dazzle and drive back her enemies than the tidal force of the night's icy orb, fierce bent on water in a shallow cove. Yet, beneath the hammer'd steel doth beat a heart whose rhythm steps in time with God, the drummer, a heart thus forged in Heaven's smithy, righteous and indignant. Joan, the reluctant fish-maid, had been called. To the Merfolk she proclaimed, "Joan of sh'Arc hath been an angelfish from her tender hatching, chaste, immaculate and French in very thought; whose maiden blood, thus rigorously effus'd, will cry for vengeance at the gates of Heaven."
