I think there is a certain "danger" in following patterns in history, such as the revolution being the "winter" followed by the "spring", all the way back to winter. This puts us in a loop.

That was after 1/3 to 1/2 of all people were dead. And it's not such a cut and dry relationship between the Black Death and renaissance.

Much like sprouts of small green popping up in a previous field scorched by flame previously thought only remnant of life
