Lord God, I beg you...

The near-death of 13 year-old
Edvard Munch,
:27:10
from a pulmonary haemorrhage,
:27:13
took place on Christmas Day, 1875.
:27:19
Has all the suffering in your family
:27:22
affected your faith?
:27:27
I don't think it's for me
to interfere in God's will.
:27:33
He loves us and we must be grateful.

In 1884 Edvard Munch
begins work on a canvas
:27:44
of his younger sister,
:27:47
a portrait that illuminates
her face and her hands.
:27:51
The remainder of her body
is shrouded in darkness.
:27:55
There is no movement,
:27:57
save for the tension
:27:58
in the slight raising
of the left hand.
:28:33
"Our Father which art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
:28:40
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven."
:28:47
"A strange man,
dressed all in black,
:28:51
stood at the foot of the bed
and prayed.
:28:54
"The air was heavy and black."
:28:57
Munch's family is puritan.
