The Sibyl by Pär Lagerkvist

4.0

One of my new favorite fables.

"Yes, god was incomprehensible, cruel and frightening. She, too, had found him so--this sibyl who had known him as no one else had known him, who had been possessed by him, loved and cursed by him, who had lived her whole life for him and had even borne him a son. A son who must have come into the world just to show that meaninglessness, too, is divine."
