“Time”
“Time” incarnates the inexorable node between time, religion, sculpture, culture and political affairs: “Our Lady of Sacristy” subsidizes the sacred facet of time’s silhouette. The chapel, in the situation, emulates the inimitability of Spanish ethos that the sculpturing embodies. “Cardinal Sandoval” connotes the political emblem of time. Accordingly, time is not a deserted actuality that subsists in segregation; time is replicated in mundane backdrops.
“The Ghost”
Robert Lowell explicitly humanizes the ghost: “And I see the street, her potter’s field, is red /And lively with the ashes of the dead.” Incarnating Cynthia’s ghosts gestures that Lowell’s memoirs of Cynthia are still unbroken although she has been entombed. For Lowell, the burial is a reagent that reforms Cynthia from earthly form to an extant, appreciable ghost.
