Instead, it is eternity and immortality that represent its vanishing point and meditative heart. Pillars of a rhetoric of dilatatio more effective than that of humiliatio, they teach man his real nature while winning him over. In so doing, they give his instinct for immortality and his desire for eternity their full scope.
