...these days of atheism, Communism, Hitlerism, and all the other "isms," the Vagabond cannot but wonder at the fact that the sale of Bibles still far surpasses that of metcoric best-sellers. Like its contents, the Bible remains constant, steady, year in, year out. Abuse it has had, and plenty of it.

The familiar casuistry of this episode is really much better suited for dramatic purposes than many of the pretentious poetic flights that adorn the work, and really have...
...half of the Kingdom decently. When his revolt starts and the guns begin to crack, however, Rudolph realizes that all governments are alike, that rulers must kill to rule and that every state is run by an inner ring for profit. On top of this sudden conversion to political atheism, Rudolph loses faith in Mary and there is nothing left but despair. When the sun comes up there are two corpses in Mayerling, some 35 elsewhere in Vienna and adequate official explanations for everything...
