There is a part in particular in the poem Chanting the Square Deific that could most definately be taken as religious or a reference to Jesus. The part I am talking about is the very last stanza:
Santa Spirita, breather, life, Chanting the Square Deific
Beyond the light, lighter than light,
Beyond the flames of hell, joyous, leaping easily above hell,
Beyond Paradise, perfumed solely with mine own perfume,
Including all life on earth, touching, including God, including Saviour and Satan,
Ethereal, pervading all (for without me what were all? what were God?),
Essence of forms, life of the real identities, permanent, positive, (namely the unseen,)
Life of the great round world, the sun and stars, and of man, I, the general soul,
Here the square finishing, the solid, I the most solid,
Breathe my breath also through these songs.
Going off of the idea that this could have a religious meaning, it seems fitting. Santa Spirita, breather, life, could all be used as describing words for Jesus. Santa is a name used for the happy fellow that everyone likes. Plus, the second part, Spirita, could refer to how Jesus is part of the diety, Father Son and the Holy Spirit. Then breather would fit too because if you so believe, God created life and is said to have 'breathed life into man', so that name also works. Then the final one is life, so again if you choose to believe so, Jesus is said to be the 'everlasting life' and all about how you can get to Heaven, or eternal life, through him. So I definately think that this stanza is describing Jesus, and that's just from the first line. After that, it talks about 'beyond the light, lighter than light.' In the Bible, Jesus is said to be 'the way the truth and the light', so this could be another reference to him.
