ABSTRACT
A great deal has been written on Kierkegaard. The more that is written, the more sophisticated become the ways of overcoming the embarrassment of writing yet another piece. No matter how much is said there are always people who wish to make more of the matter. But it could be put to these makers-of-more that if you discover a Danish or Lithuanian writer, and suspect, after a few weeks of reading, that you are smitten, the thing to do is break it off. For if, having gained everything by falling in love, you rush into an engagement, you then have everything to lose.
