Tale of Sibila

By own disposition Sibila put
      a handful of sand in her hand ...
      She urged Apollo to grant her
      life in how many years were the
      grain numbers ...
      She forgot to ask, eternal youth!
      She lived ... many years lived ...
      But to her despair, from living so much
      on land she was converted ....



PS It appears in Greek mythology that she lived
       9 lives of 110 years ....
       This tale is a creation adapted
       and recreated by me from mythology.
