What's A Good Word For The Brutal Slaughter Of A Brilliant Woman? Poem by ed purchla
What's A Good Word For The Brutal Slaughter Of A Brilliant Woman?
Hypatia; a philosopher, teacher,
Mathematician, Aid, Astronomer,
Neoplatonist, Sage, Co-Inventor.
The Scholae sought her lectures fervently,
Hanging on her words, theories, closely.
Alexandria hailed her equally.
The Parabalani assaulted her,
Dragging her bleeding body to a church,
Doing Cyril's bidding, she was murdered.
