“Although the mortality rate was erratic, ranging from one fifth in some places to nine tenths or almost total elimination in others, the overall estimate of modern demographers has settled—for the area extending from India to Iceland—around the same figure expressed in Froissart’s casual words: “a third of the world died.”

It could be hard to choose the time outside over the time within.”
― David Wroblewski, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
