ABSTRACT
A reference to verses capturing the figured sights that have never been. Again, a rehearsal: memories in pursuit of a future-made-ideal. The rehearsals of love are rehearsals of their own act; repetitions of a performance that has already been performed: 'Vivo sin vivir en mi'. In the soul, the principle originates in word and form as a continuously re-enacted beginning. It is located in the words of origin where the re-enacted rehearsals of these origins are held as expressions of desire and, in their aesthetic value, potential makings of art. In the eschatological awakenings, Spencer's bearing of Burghclere's multifarious crosses are transformed in the normality of everyday sainthood. Spencer felt and understood the Christian poetic to its fullest, but he also secularized its myths establishing in his own poetics the centrality of natural affinity, where in its speciality, art equates the reality of coital love with the spiritual order of universalized individuality.
