[Inexplicable images from generations ago invite us to restore the lost
sense of immediacy. We follow the founder of the Theater of
Spontaneity, Jacob Moreno, who proposed stringing together "now and then
flashes" to unfetter illusion and let imagination run free. The images
we have collected for this series came at a tremendous price, which we explained previously.] |

An X for a halo? Presumably it's the tail end of the ichthys symbol ("sign of the fish") of Christianity, but we've never before encountered it this way (we have gaps!) The red "64" sticker seems like a sun that Jesus is warding off. The sun and the Son. In mathematics, 64 is known as a " centered triangular number" (symbolic here of the Holy Trinity?) Of course, there are 64 demons in the Dictionnaire Infernal, and 64 hexagrams in the I Ching, and 64 squares on a chess board, so there are many (unsatisfactory) ways to interpret the cover of Sacred Heart's 1964 yearbook.

"Love and Death," with Death having collapsed and blind Love stepping forward. From Fliegende Blätter, 1925.
Just after encountering this image, we encountered this line: "Slowly I dance out of the burning house of my head" (Mark Strand, "The Way It Is," The Compete Poems).
