Autobiography
Contesto (the protagonist is talking about individuals who were part of the fascist regime, and who are now disappearing from the scene):
Quando uscii dalla sua casa mi sembrò di aver lasciato dietro di me un mondo di spettri. Di spettri colti da una improvvisa frenesia di ballare una tragica sarabanda senza metà.
Molte Grazie,
Barbara

: 100% confidence means this is the suggestion but as you say it's just another suggestion /disagreeing with presenting this as the only answer.

Are you really taking umbrage with my answer due to semantics of how I worded my explanation?! Splitting hairs and all? "I am 100% confident it is another way of putting this term." Is that better for you?
