[60] In the T. S. Eliot poem, The Waste Land, this quote is written in Greek and Latin as follows: Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σίβυλλα τί θέλεις; respondebat illa: ἀποθανεῖν θέλω. The translation generally associated with Eliot's poem is as follows: For with my own eyes I saw the Sibyl hanging in a bottle, and when the young boys asked her, “Sibyl, what do you want?” she replied, “I want to die”.
The quote refers to the mythic Cumaean Sibyl who bargained with Apollo, offering her virginity for years of life totalling as many grains of sand as she could hold in her hand. However, after she spurned him, he allowed her to wither away over the span of her near-immortality, as she forgot to ask for eternal youth.
