...Smiles of a Summer Night. And just as that earlier, lighter master work examined the forms and varieties of eros, so The Seventh Seal probes the modes and species of fides. Every form of Christian faith seems to be present here--what Kierkegaard prayed for and what made Nietzsche gnash his teeth.

Everyone craftily slugged dispatches "urgent," but the imperturbable telegraphers were unimpressed; crisis or no, they shut up shop every night at 7:30, leaving newsmen to gnash their teeth at 24-hour delays in transmission...
