The Black Death

"We see death coming into our midst like black smoke, a plague which cuts off the young, a rootless phantom which has no mercy or fair countenance... that comes with unseemly haste. It is a grievous ornament that breaks out in a rash. The early ornaments of black death."

- Ieuan Gethin, 1349
