TRTR(1) Imago Que?

[Mark Kohut]

Takes close reading....I got it wrong first try....everyone knows
but look again and I think you'll agree
the sex-crazed monks BANISH Mary's
look when they pleasure themselves...

The look makes them feel too guilty, so
they banish the look.....

I initially looked up that image but had difficulty reconciling the
way Gaddis words the description. Thinking more about it, it does
work. She's looking through spiritual 'eyes' located in the radiating
sacred heart. Masturbating to that image would give a monk a bit of
guilt.
