Sibyl's Eulogy

Sibyl, every time I saw you it was like eating a skittle and I loved the way you walked and talked even though it was for just a little. Yet my love for you was like a riddle. There was no clue my dear and I didn’t know how to figure out it was such a scare. But I didn’t care because it was you and only you, so gorgeous and angelic. Indeed it was not fake and for God’s sake I cried when you died at such a young age. It feels like the last page of my life that just turned and now my heart is completely stunned. I wanted to believe that it was all a lie and that you were still alive, but you can’t be revived even with my love. Indeed it was not fake and for God’s sake I cried. I’m deprived of the love that we shared and the true ecstasy when we both stared into each other’s eyes. When I turned to the sky and I realized that we are now on the opposite side. I would’ve rather died because I couldn’t save your life.

It felt like an illusion when I found out that Sibyl had left us. I would like to briefly reflect on her personal and professional life. Sibyl was born on June 20th, 1890. She was such a nice and innocent person that everybody liked her. Sibyl had a lovely family and everybody dearly loved her. Her mother Mrs. Vane always supported her and helped her to pursue acting that was her life. Although Sibyl didn’t receive any formal education, her mother raised her to be a gentle and compassionate person, which is truly laudable. Her brother James Vane always cared about her as if he is her elder brother. He is such a caring bother that he could throw away his life in grave danger to save Sibyl. And Sibyl would always live among us through their love.

Sibyl had intense affinity for acting. She always wanted to become an actress and she did become a brilliant actress because of her innate acing skills. In her childhood she used to imitate people and she used to do it perfectly. Like, one day she took the getup of a gentleman to imitate Mr. Isaacs with a mustache. She was looking like a dwarf comedian with a really funny look. And Sibyl even tried to imitate Mr. Isaacs’s voice. I still remember her smiley face when she shared her childhood memories with me.

I still remember the day when I first saw Sibyl vane. At the very first glimpse I became infatuated with her. She was strikingly beautiful “with a little flower-like face, a small Greek head with plaited coils of dark-brown hair, eyes that were violet wells of passion, lips that were like the petals of a rose.” (Page 59, Lines 14-16) “And her voice, I never heard such a voice.” (Page 59, Line 21) She was playing the role of Juliet and she shone the entire stage like a dazzling star. When I went up to her she told me that “You look more like a prince” (Page 64, Line 13) and referred me as Prince Charming. We fell into love with each other, but I didn’t know that it would be for such brief period of time. It was my fault that I belittled her for her bad performance and on that dreadful night she left us all behind. And I thought I would’ve rather died because I couldn’t save her life.
