“The boys were amazed that I could make such a poem as that out of my own head, and so was I, of course, it being as much of a surprise to me as it could be to anybody, for I did not know that it was in me. If any had asked me a single day before if it was in me, I should have told them, frankly no, it was not. And that is the way with us. We may go on half of our life not knowing such a thing is in us, when in reality it was there all the time, and all we needed was something to turn up that would call for it.1
- Mark Twain in Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc

Love, Kirsten
