Don’t think I have lost sight of the question I am really trying to get at: who was Cassandra before people wrote about her?
Does it seem misguided to you to believe that if women had helped to think ‘thought’ over the last two thousand years, the life of thought would be different today? (We forget too easily: woman as an intellectual has existed in appreciable numbers only for the last sixty or seventy years. We know stories of her and about her, but her history – a history of incredible exertion and courage, but also of incredible self-denial and renunciation of the claims of her nature – has still to be written.
We have no authentic models; this costs us time, detours, mistakes; but it does not have to be purely a disadvantage. Few, very few women’s voices have reached our ears since Sappho sang circa 600 B.C.
The moon has set
and the Pleiades too. Midnight
it is; the hour goes past.
But I sleep alone.
or:
One man praises horsemen as the most beautiful treasure
of the dark earth, another foot soldiers,
another fleets of ships, but I say it is
what a lover longs for.
