Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.

Well this certainly sent me scrambling to the dictionary! A vivid snapshot, or even snapshots, depending on one's interpretation of the wonderful last line....I think this ranks with dusty brown. Lilting. Gorgeous.

Thanks, Mike! I wasn't sure about this one after writing it in my head on the bus last night. I simplified it a lot further this morning and changed the second line to something specific rather than the original and boring "the eye makeup she applied" - and also moved the tense from past to present. Those changes made a big difference. Glad you liked it.
