@OstrogothRome,ad ethymology of "Quack": wikipedia (german version) "Ebenfalls wahrscheinlich ist auch die Herkunft des Begriffes vom Quecksilber, da in der frühen Neuzeit Quecksilber-Salben und -Pflaster z. B. als Mittel gegen die Syphilis vertrieben wurden" Also probable is the descent from "Quecksilber" (mercury) as in early modern age mercury salves or mercury plastesr were traded, for example, as a cure against (excuse my bad english)

Der Tot ist die einzige Sache im Leben auf den man sich verlassen kann.

spätestens dann, wenn ich die Sterblichen zum Tanz rufe, spielt es keyne Rolle mehr, wessen Sprache die Worte entnommen sind....

@NastyGreaser wenn man schon unqualifizierte kommentare abgibt, dann schon zu sachen, wo keiner ahnung von hat.
Saltatio (lat.: Tanz) Mortis (lat.: Tod) --> Der Tanz der Toten (wörtlich übersetzt); Auch: Totentanz

@OstrogothRome What death wants is kind of irrelevant. Ask any old fellow who's had a rough but fulfilling life-they aren't afraid of death in the slightest, nor do they court it on an active basis. They know a truth that most of us don't.
Y'see, most don't realize how powerful Choice is. I associate with nurses, soldiers and priests, and all groups-the three groups most involved with the final processes of death-agree that many people have avoided unnecessary Death simply by choosing to.

@maskaradka Ibelieve the 'duck's bill' over the doctor's mouth was full of sweet-smelling herbs. This was when they thought disease was carried by bad odours ('malaria'). So a sweet odour would 'protect' the doctor from catching whatever the patient had. I wonder if this was where the name of 'Quack' for doctor came from?
@NastyGreaser
jepp, genauso wie es in der Beschreibung steht...
desweiteren: Saltatio Mortis = Totentanz...
Latein...

Look oiutside and watch the freezing fog softly caress the land
Look and see oil reach $280 a barrel, and all the cars stand still
Look inside the empty fridge as Russian fields turn to sand
See a loaf of bread cost one day's pay and no-one's waiting at the till
Gently snow begins to fall; you clasp your loved one's paling hand
Look on your computer and see the price of wheat, $800, rising still
Until the screen goes dark, no power, in memoriam for our unsustainable land
