Inspired by ~ Danse Macabre (Dance Of Death) ~
 
In 14th century Europe, it’s estimated that 40 to 50 percent of the total population fell victim to the “Black Death” (bubonic plague) during just one four-year period. The poem, Danse Macabre, was inspired by a legend going back to those medieval times; a cultural acknowledgement of the fragility of life.

Come All Hallows Eve, Death calls the dead to rise from their graves. While he plays his fiddle, the awakened spirits dance until the rooster crows at dawn.
