Vermeer somehow encapsulates love, always (8)
I believe the answer is:
evermore
'always' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'vermeer somehow encapsulates love' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'encapsulates' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'vermeer' with letters rearranged gives 'evermre'.
'evermre' going around 'o' is 'EVERMORE'.
(Other definitions for evermore that I've seen before include "Always, forever" , "Always and without end" , "To all eternity" , "Eternally" , "(For) perpetuity" .)
