* [https://web.archive.org/web/20090716151632/http://www.contemporarywriters.com/authors/?p=auth01K23Q441812620571 A sardonic sequence of 'Twelve Sibyls', accompanied by the artist Leonard Baskin's woodcuts, revisits Sibyls and Others (1980)]. [[Ruth Fainlight]] has written dozens of poems about these ambiguous figures, bridging religion, classical and Biblical settings, femininity and modernity. One of them concludes: 'I am no more conscious of the prophecies / than I can understand the language of birds /…let the simple folk praise you, / keep you safe as a caged bird, / and call you a sibyl'.

* [http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/eliot01.html T.S. Eliot's ''The Waste Land''] is prefaced by a quote from Petronius' ''Satyricon'' (1st century AD) The passage translates roughly as "I saw with my own eyes the Sibyl at Cumae hanging in a jar, and when the boys said to her 'Sibyl, what do you want?' that one replied 'I want to die'.
