IDEAMan is conceived of blood made rotten by the heat of lust; and in the end worms, like mourners, stand about his corpse.
In life he produced lice and tapeworms; in death he will produce worms and flies. In life he produced dung and vomit; in death he produces rottenness and stench.
In life he fattened one man; in death he fattens a multitude of worms.
Pope Innocent III, On the Misery of the Human Condition, c. 1200
