Apontando Para o Céu
Christina Rosseti escreveu:
BENEATH THY CROSS
Am I a stone, and not a sheep,
That I can stand, O Christ, beneath thy cross,
To number drop by drop Thy Blood's slow loss,
And yet not weep?
Not so those women loved
Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee;
Not so fallen Peter weeping bitterly;
Not so the thief was moved;
Not so the Sun and Moon
Which hid their faces in a starless sky,
A horror of great darkness at broad noon--
I, only I.
Yet give not o'er,
But seek Thy sheep, true Shepherd of the flock;
Greater than Moses, turn and look once more
And smite a rock.

E a Luz Acesa dá-nos a fotografia ideal com perspectiva apropriada daquele que se dirige ao que outrora, como Sagrado Madeiro, foi instrumento de morte e que, imortalizada na pedra, se torna símbolo da Vida. Vão lá, que o tratamento é deslumbrante.
