The crucifixion as fixing: God nailed himself upon man, keyed low and forgetting his divinity, that man might live; and man in turn nails himself to the state he desires, fixing himself in it by feeling and remaining faithful, so that it is lifted up. Crucifixion comes before resurrection; a yielding that never became flesh would be the triumph of tyranny.
