    And that good Joan whom Englishmen
    At Rouen doomed and burned her there,—
    Mother of God, where are they then? . . .
    Francois Villon (1431–1465)

    It breaks his heart that kings must murder still,
    That all his hours of travail here for men
    Seem yet in vain. And who will bring white peace
    That he may sleep upon his hill again?
    —Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
