thread about art, poetry, music, etc. with the theme of the black death
Adieu, farewell earths blisse,
This world uncertaine is,
Fond are lifes lustful joyes,
Death proves them all but toyes,
None from his darts can flye;
I am sick, I must dye:
Lord, have mercy on us.
("A Litany in Time of Plague"
by Thomas Nashe)
