The New York Times on Sven Nykvist,
a cinematographer who died on Wednesday:
"In his films, especially those with Mr. Bergman, light assumed a metaphysical dimension that went beyond mood. It distilled and deepened the feelings of torment and spiritual separation that afflicted Bergman characters." –Stephen Holden
"Pray for the grace of accuracy
Vermeer gave to the sun's illumination…."
— "Epilogue," by Robert Lowell,
in Day by Day, 1977
For further remarks on light,

Tombstone (from May 17,
the date of Feuer's death).
