Maison de la Liberté

Emily Isaacson writes about her heroine Joan of Arc, the figure who is also an icon in the Peace Tower Memorial Chamber. Thus she dedicates her life to furthering the cause of her mentor and Patron Saint, 'Our Lady Peace.' Read more . . .

In spring,

waves that grace the sea,

a simmered adagio,

antique judgments

like a painter’s oil;

camphor, an aid

to digestion,

glittering on the

burgundy dark cobblestones:

the horses, gelding and bay,

shining in the rain.

An innocent girl,

under a noble hymn

rides into battle:

before the angels Gabriel

and Michael, a virgin laurel

gracing a fair, chaste maiden,

her flag bearing

the fleur-de-lis

beneath the gold and hues

of morning.

Our Lady of

the Northern Crown:

still echoing across

the sky,

across the night,

across the sea,

across Orléans,

across the pastoral countryside,

peace.

--Emily Isaacson, The Fleur-de-lis, Vol I
