Thanatopsis
The entry into the bar on Sunday of the guy in the giant Death disguise has me thinking about the supposedly ancient story, retold by Somerset Maugham, of Death and Samarra. Here is where I first heard it, from Boris Karloff in the early Bogdanovich movie Targets.
Samarra is about 80 miles from Baghdad. Must have been a pretty magnificent horse.
