Je n’ai pas pu r\u00e9sister : \u00e7a me fait mal chaque ann\u00e9e, cette appropriation de Jeanne d’Arc par le FN. On en parlait l’autre jour dans les commentaires, de la sinc\u00e9rit\u00e9, on en parle aujourd\u2019hui, du courage, de \u00ab\u00a0faire \u00e9nergiquement [sa] longue et lourde t\u00e2che dans la voie o\u00f9 le sort a voulu [nous] appeler\u00a0\u00bb (Vigny), de la r\u00e9sistance indispensable \u00e0 l’intol\u00e9rable. <\/p>\n
Leonard Cohen aussi a vu dans Jeanne d’Arc, le feu, pas celui destructeur du Vieux-March\u00e9 \u00e0 Rouen : le feu int\u00e9rieur.<\/p>\n
Joan of Arc<\/strong><\/p>\n
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
\nAs she came riding through the dark;
\nNo moon to keep her armour bright,
\nNo man to get her through this very smoky night.
\nShe said, I\u2019m tired of the war,
\nI want the kind of work I had before,
\nA wedding dress or something white
\nTo wear upon my swollen appetite.<\/p>\nWell, I\u2019m glad to hear you talk this way,
\nYou know I\u2019ve watched you riding every day
\nAnd something in me yearns to win
\nSuch a cold and lonesome heroine.
\nAnd who are you? she sternly spoke
\nTo the one beneath the smoke.
\nWhy, I\u2019m fire, he replied,
\nAnd I love your solitude, I love your pride.<\/p>\nThen fire, make your body cold,
\nI\u2019m going to give you mine to hold,
\nSaying this she climbed inside
\nTo be his one, to be his only bride.
\nAnd deep into his fiery heart
\nHe took the dust of Joan of Arc,
\nAnd high above the wedding guests
\nHe hung the ashes of her wedding dress.<\/p>\nIt was deep into his fiery heart
\nHe took the dust of Joan of Arc,
\nAnd then she clearly understood
\nIf he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
\nI saw her wince, I saw her cry,
\nI saw the glory in her eye.
\nMyself I long for love and light,
\nBut must it come so cruel, and oh so bright? <\/p><\/blockquote>\nMerci \u00e0 Rumbo, d’avoir \u00e9voqu\u00e9 Jeanne d’Arc.<\/p>\n
Puisque notre cause est celle de la Justice, combattons, m\u00eame avec nos moyens d\u00e9risoires, ainsi c\u2019est Dieu qui remportera la victoire (Jeanne d’Arc, selon Rumbo).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
