Sometimes everything is suddenly really simple, You step out and you see where you are really clearly. You see yourself, and you think, ‘Fuck this shit’.

Danse macabre, Op. 40 - written in 1874 by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. The title of Danse macabre is usually translated as Dance of Death, but it’s sometimes also called Ghoulish Dance or Dance of Grim Humor, among others. Image: Les feuilles mortes by Spanish-Mexican para-surrealist painter Remedios Varo.

According to legend, “Death” appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death calls forth the dead from their graves to dance their dance of death for him while he plays his fiddle (here represented by a solo violin). His skeletons dance for him until the rooster crows at dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year.
