Description

Cassandra. Кассандра


Не внял Илион её грозному дару
и вещий стон жрицы не слушал народ
И предан в объятия Фебова жара
не видя последний для Трои восход

Апполову жертву теперь оправдает
лишь пепел покрывший как снегом дома
а пленные девы надрывно рыдают
теперь вспоминая пророчеств слова

Все песни Кассандры хранит не напрасно
для судеб потомков наследье времён
Судьба чтит покорно закон свой опасный
- Пророк недоверьем вовек заклеймён


poem by me
in russian, no translation, sorry

UPDATED:
english version
thanks so much to :iconleetninja: for great help with free translation (certainly the english version is lost poetic rhyme and size (step), but now possible to understand the meaning of the poem) :

Cassandra

Did not heed Ilion to your terrible aptitude
and people did not listen the prophetic moan of priestess
and was given over to flaming embraces Of Phoebus
and he had not seen last sunrise of Troy

victim of Apollo now will justify
only ashes, that covered of house as the snow
and prisoner virgins, they were crying hysterically
now recalling the prophecies of word

now legacy of the past keeps not in vain
all songs of Cassandra
for the fates of descendants
fate obediently abide by dangerous law
- prophet always has the brand of distrust

I've always been fascinated by the figures of prophecy in mythology :) Funny...I just met a Cassandra a few days ago, I cruise through pics and there you go! I see a Cassandra lol The poem and the pic go together well...too bad the poem didn't translate as well into English :( Translation is always hard.
