Not to mention Yelm and Triolina, who's followers are hardly known for eschewing violence.
Don't our French cousins refer to orgasm as "the little death"? I'm sure Ulerian poetry is filled with references to "dying" in the Shakespearian sense.

"When I am dying, lean over me tenderly, softly,
Stoop, as the yellow roses droop in the wind from the South." "So I may, when I wake, if there be an Awakening,
Keep, what lulled me to sleep, the touch of your lips on my mouth."
