1. Because she—you hear her—she's calling,and is always going to call, and it's betterboth of us die by the dagger without anyoneseeing us, Orestes, and die a fit death.
Madwomen: Poems of Gabriela Mistral
2. I am Cassandra—she who, without asking,understood it all and still came to her fate,I, Cassandra, full of visions,who sees her own death without turning away,and hears in the night the day that follows.
Madwomen: Poems of Gabriela Mistral
