Leonard Cohen - Joan of Arc

[uclrichard]

joan never cried: she saw the dauphin, the french soldiers, the english aristocrats and she just laughed...and she was dead before the flames reached her body - because the stake was arranged so she would sufficate from intense smoke inhalation: a slightly less painful death and a small gesture of mercy from the english commander of the time.

Cohen's love token to Nico.

He couldn't have taken the dust of Joan of Arc. It is a Jesus thing. He substitutes himself for the saints. This being said, the body doesn't burn. It turns into angel. There is no dust....get it! It's transfigured. That is why they could not find the body of Christ. It may have taken three days but once he awoked, it is understood that he can transfer those that belong to his chamber...immediately...n'est ce pas? Well, in our day as the Gentile x's of 2520 yrs since 607 BC have passed by.
