An idea from Fear and Trembling

In an old story, a demon has killed each of Sarah’s 7 bridegrooms on the wedding night. A poet would praise the young man brave enough to marry her. The harder courage is hers: letting herself be loved and healed, knowing it might cost him his life.

From Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard
