Further info on how to get hold of the text and the zoom invitations below.
Some links to background on Chapters 7 and 8:
The (long) poem Bread and Wine that Nancy is quoting two lines from in Chapter 8 may be found here in a bilingual version (see section 8): https://sites.google.com/site/germanliterature/19th-century/hoelderlin/brot-und-wein-bread-and-wine
one (of many!) reports on and digital photos of the painting by Pontormo: https://www.arttrav.com/florence/pontormo-visitation/
including an enlargement of the two figures at the side.
(a clearer image is at : https://www.apollo-magazine.com/pontormo-visitation-getty-center/
- the colours appears to unrealistic in most of the digital reproductions)
Here is a work by Bill Viola called Visitation, which I think may post-date Nancy's book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td45JUUuSas
here Viola's "The Greeting" to which Nancy refers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg0IyGUVXaQ
and here a comparison of that video with the Pontormo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HvypNnEq1g
