“We must make an idol of our fear, and call it god.”
The Seventh Seal (1957) Dir. Ingmar Bergman

The 7th. Seal
Her keyser euch hilft nicht das swert
Czeptir vnd crone sint hy nicht wert
Ich habe euch bey der hand genomen
Ir must an meynen reyen komen
Emperador, tu espada no te ayudara,
cetro y corona son inútiles aquí,
te he tomado de la mano.
Y tendrás que acompañarme a bailar.
Ich habe gehabt [vil arbeit gross]
Der sweis mir du[rch die haut floss]
Noch wolde ich ger[n dem tod empfliehen]
Zo habe ich des glu[cks nit hie]
Tuve que trabajar mucho y muy fuerte,
el sudor me corría por la piel,
aun así me gustaría poder escaparte,
aunque no tendré suerte.
Vita brevis breviter in brevi finietur,
Mors venit velociter quae neminem veretur,
Omnia mors perimit et nulli miseretur.
Ad mortem festinamus peccare desistamus.
Ni conversus fueris et sicut puer factus
Et vitam mutaveris in meliores actus,
Intrare non poteris regnum Dei beatus.
Ad mortem festinamus peccare desistamus.

Antonius Block: Who are you?
Death: I am Death.
Antonius Block: Have you come for me?
Death: I have long walked by your side.
Antonius Block: So I have noticed.
Death: Are you ready?
Antonius Block: My body is ready, but I am not.–The Seventh Seal – Ingmar Bergman
