Actually, I spend much of my time in a healthy manner, contemplating dead men’s withered bones:
“Wenn schnode Wollust dich erfullt,
So werde durch ein Schreckensbild
Verdorrter Totenknochen
Der Kitzel unterbrochen.”
[“When base lust fills thy thoughts,
Let a horrible picture rise before thy mind
Of withered dead men’s bones,
So let the sensual stimulation be driven away.”]
(Sorry, author unknown). SCRATCH THAT! It’s by Anja Christine Belemann-Smit, thanks to cousin Barbara!
That quote might be from a Calvinist reformer!

I suspect it’s from a female. My cousin referred me to German entries on Amazon and tho I don’t know what they said, I got a page translated and think it’s by Anja Christine, as now added to my post. Thanks for the good suggestion, however!
