Cassandra Quotes

“At our parting, pain and rage choked my goodbyes:
I couldn’t say the word to those fine eyes
That, near, far, captivate me utterly;

And so I beg you, sky, air, winds, plains, mountains,
Copses and forests, riverbanks and fountains,
Caves, fields, flowers – say goodbye to her for me.”
― Pierre de Ronsard, Cassandra

“That’s how I live, that’s how I die: in doubt.
One calls me back, the other kicks me out;
So from one source my joy and sadness rise.”
― Pierre de Ronsard, Cassandra

“Stay, Dream, stay with me just a moment longer!
Deceiver, wait till I can blunt the hunger.”
― Pierre de Ronsard, Cassandra
