The king
of beasts will not touch a tooth to bring on his mother’s death
But the
cub once being grown, like the wolf and the jackal,
Will bare
tooth against their fathers—
Thus,
strike the paw that has breed you.
Not even
Alexander, not King Priam, nor his enemy Agamemnon, would
Strike
his own mother a death blow!
The blade
in the hand of the man-child, remembers the breast that he
Suckled
as a babe; hence, the Lion-gate of Mycenae, that broke the
Citadel
of Priam, how unaccountable they were to their gods, yet not to
Their
mothers… whom King Agamemnon could slaughter his daughter
For the
victory of Troy, whom he knew once grown, could like Helen,
Bring on
many times many evils, clapped not an eye, at his wife’s
Dismay,
over his daughter being sacrificed!
I’ll tell
you something:
There is
an exception to the rule: a man can slaughter another’s mother,
In
return, for a mother slaughtered! Nero’s scenario.
