It's funny how one thing leads to another. For example I was listening to a cd I recently bought:
Which has a short "instrumental" in it, that has exerts from T.S. Eliot's, "Exploring the wasteland" which is a poem I decided to look up. On the certain page I found it on, a picture was designated to said poem, because the person who made the page felt it did a good job representing it. The picture is a very old piece of artwork entitled, "The triumph of death".
So I read about this picture and other works of the artist/similar artists of the time, which inevitably brought me to reading about the whole "Dance macabre" thing.
Fun stuff.
