Joan of Arc

 

Annie Louisa Swynnerton, 1844-1933

Joan of Arc, n/d, oil on canvas, 89x79 m

"I understand now my final purpose --

through my words and deeds

to inspire others

to find hope and strength

to speak and act.

The girls who fear

the fire inside themselves,

I burned for them."

~ Stephanie Hemphill, The Language of Fire
