In George Bernard Shaw’s play "St. Joan," Joan hears voices from God. The Dauphin is annoyed.
"Oh, your voices, your voices," he says, "Why don't your voices come to me? I am the king not you."
"They do come," Joan replies, "but you do not hear them. You have not sat in the field in the evening listening for them. When the angelus rings you cross yourself and have done with it, but if you prayed from your heart and listened to the thrilling of the bells in the air after they stopped ringing, you would hear the voices as well as I do."
