Quotes by Stephen Backhouse (?)

“the poem Søren wished to have engraved on his headstone: In a little while I shall have won, Then the entire battle Will disappear at once. Then I may rest In halls of roses And unceasingly, And unceasingly Speak with my Jesus.”
― Stephen Backhouse, Kierkegaard: A Single Life

“The bishop has pushed himself to the limits of his reputation to avoid any connection to the distasteful funeral going on across the way. Yet he knows, along with all of Copenhagen, that the events below are all anyone is talking about. They will be in all the papers tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. It is of paramount importance that these papers record that the newly minted Bishop of all Denmark, Hans L. Martensen, shepherd to the nation, was not present at the burial of his former student, now the scourge of all Christendom, Søren Kierkegaard.”
― Stephen Backhouse, Kierkegaard: A Single Life

“If anyone present noticed the irony that the events surrounding the funeral of Denmark’s most articulate champion of individuality had largely been dictated by an awkward, shuffling mob, they kept their counsel to themselves. Newspaper comment in the days following was muted, treating the affair briefly and carefully. “As if,” said one of Søren’s friends, “they were afraid of getting their fingers burnt.”
