‘God, Like Alfred Hitchcock …’

“God,” I said, “like Alfred Hitchcock, vouchsafes us only glimpses of Himself. I have often thought of this. And also that we make a game of trying to spot Him in this scene and then that, till we’ve squandered the revelation of the whole instead of simply accepting and enjoying what He has created.”

From the short story “Overture” by Peter De Vries, available in Without a Stitch in Time .
