I’m the one who’s been asking you ––  it hurts to ask –– Who are you? I am orphaned each time the sun goes down.  I can feel cast out from everything and even churches look like prisons.

Rilke, from Book of Hours II, 3

working thru Fear & Trembling; im only understanding about 80% of this at all times but it absolutely floors me how mr søren takes these life-altering concepts and talks about them so casually. what DOES god require of us? and are we prepared to experience the “martyrdom of unintelligibility” that comes with a true life of faith? he’s harsh towards those who would water-down their exegesis and yet self-aware of his own incapability of embodying the standard he sets forth.
