Did You Gain By Your Delay?

Täby kyrka, c. 1480 - Albertus PictorI recently watched The Seventh Seal. While generally regarded as a masterpiece, I think it’s so existential and expressionist that you would only like it if you like that sort of film. The image of a man playing chess with Death was lifted by Bergman from a fresco by Albertus Pictor in Täby kyrka, north of Stockholm.

I’m away. I set this to post a head of time. Feel to the very end the triumph of being alive!
