“In literature and in art, alike, this gloomy fashion of regarding Death has been characteristic of Christianity. Death has been painted as a skeleton grasping a scythe, a grinning skull, a threatening figure with terrible face and uplifted dart, a bony scarecrow shaking an hourglass - all that could alarm and repel has been gathered round this rightly-named King of Terrors.” Has BeensArtFacesLiteratureChristianityFashionFiguresKingsTerribleRoundsTerrorSymbolsCharacteristicsThreateningShakingAlarmsSkullsGloomySkeletonsGraspingGrinningScarecrowHourglassScythes Book:The Theosophical Writings of Annie Besant Source: The Theosophical Writings of Annie Besant
