The temptation in jumping off the temple was not,
surely, about suicide but about arrogantly presuming
upon God - to send his rescuing angels.
To some of us, the voluntary embracing of an avoidable
death for whatever reason - even the salvation of mankind
- has a distinctly suicidal feel to it.
It always seemed to mt that the hint was there - that
Seymour's death was a martyrdom, a martyrdom evoked
to confirm him retrospectively as a kind of messiah.
