The Real Reason
No, it’s not that Apollo took back his promise and
the fact that he spat on Cassandra’s mouth annulled
the convincing of her speech thus making her
prophetic words ineffective for herself and others. No.
It’s because no one wants to believe in truth. And when
you see the net inside the bath, you think that it’s
put there for your fishing trip next day and you don’t
hear at all within you and without, ascending the marble
stairs of the castle, the dark message in the cries
of ill-fated Cassandra.
