There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away

Of prancing Poetry --
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll --
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul
~ Emily Dickinson

At Sedlec, in Czech Republic, in the Cemetery Church of All Saints there is an ossuary (human bone depository) that contains thousands of relics of plague victims. In the late eighteenth century, a local woodcarver was given permission to create skeletal decorations from the ossuary deposits, resulting in a dramatic and little known memorial to the Black Death.
