John     Kelly

“We are a spectacle to the world. Let the great and humble, by our example, see to what state they shall be inexorably reduced, whatever their condition, age, or sex. Why then, miserable person, are you puffed up with pride? Dust you are, unto dust you return, rotten corpse, morsel and meal to worms.”

John Kelly, The Great Mortality: An Intimate History of the Black Death, the Most Devastating Plague of All Time
