[ID: a series of artworks and quotes. The first is an oil painting, The Angel of Death by Evelyn Pickering de Morgan, depicting a winged, robed figure with a scythe, about to help up or carry away another figure. The second image is a lithograph print, Death Recognised As a Friend by Käthe Kollwitz, depicting a rough human figure gripping the back of a darkened figure’s head, mouth and eyes wide open. The third image is an extract from John Keats’s poem Ode to a Nightingale, which reads: “Darkling I listen; and, for many a time / I have been half in love with easeful Death, / Call’d him soft names in many a mused rhyme, / To take into the air my quiet breath;”. The fourth image is an oil painting, Death and Life by Gustav Klimt, depicting a skeletal figure in deep blue robes decorated with crosses and circles on the right, and to the left a large mass of men, women, and children tangled in colourful and detail, with the chasm between the two as well as the spaces behind them empty. The fifth image is a woodcut print, Woman in the Lap of Death by Käthe Kollwitz, depicting a robed figure with a lined face holding a woman who has her  mouth open. Both the figures have their eyes closed, and look almost as if they are sleeping. The sixth image is a lyric from the song Savana Sabertooth by OH!Hello, which reads: “but death is a good friend / and we talk often”. The seventh image is a lithograph print, Call of Death by Käthe Kollwitz, depicting a rough-featured figure with eyes that are not visible to the viewer, turning to the right, where a hand touches it on the shoulder.  The eighth image is a lyric from the song Under Cover of Darkness by The Strokes, which reads: “So long my friend and adversary / But I’ll wait for you”. end ID.]
