To stop there would be too resolved, too “transcendental” for the peasant experience which Marketa Luskacova interprets so faithfully. The peasant, within the secrecy of his own mind, is independent, and he projects this independence on to those he worships. Nothing is ever quite arranged.
Italo Calvino has recorded a story from the countryside near Verona; and I think of it when, for instance, I look at the picture of the builders at Sumiac eating a meal:
Once there was a farmer who was devout, but who prayed only to St. Joseph. When he died, St. Peter refused to let him into heaven. “No question,” said St. Peter, “you forgot about Christ, God the Father and the Virgin.” “Since I’m here,” replied the man, “could I have a word with Joseph?” Joseph appeared, recognized the farmer and said: “Come in, make yourself at home.” “I can’t,” complained the man, “Peter here has forbidden me to enter heaven.” Joseph turned to Peter and angrily remonstrated: “You let him in here, or I’ll take my son and my wife and we’ll go somewhere else to build paradise!”
