"Tales fueron las palabras de Simeón cuando Jesús, en brazos de su madre, visitó por primera vez el Templo, sin más ofrenda que dos pinchones. Ahora, aquellas palabras cobraban sentido, porque la curiosa muerte, que no se mostraba, **merodeaba no obstante nuestro entorno,** y la espada de la profecía caería sobre el mundo y también sobre María."

linger -- definition
1 : to be slow in parting or in quitting something : tarry <fans lingered outside the door>
2 a : to **remain alive although gradually dying**
b : to remain existent although often waning in strength, importance, or influence <lingering doubts> <lingering odors>
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/linger

In this context of "la curiosa muerte," definition #2 seems to fit rather nicely.

I hope this helps!
