Synopsis

Excerpt: ... A well of living waters, And flowing streams from Lebanon. Engaged with the Bridegroom in seeking to rescue the perishing, the utterances of her lips are to Him as honey and the honeycomb; and figure is piled upon figure to express His satisfaction and joy. She is a garden full of precious fruits and delightful perfumes, but a garden enclosed; the fruit she bears may bring blessing to many, but the garden is for Himself alone; she is a fountain, but a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. And yet again she is a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters and flowing streams from Lebanon: she carries fertility and imparts refreshment wherever she goes; and yet it is all of Him and for Him. The bride now speaks for the second time in this section. As her first utterance was of Him, so now her second is for Him; self is found in neither. 45 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; Blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my Beloved come into His garden, And eat His precious fruits. She is ready for any experience: the north wind and the south may blow upon her garden, if only the spices thereof may flow out to regale her Lord by their fragrance. He has called her His garden, a paradise of pomegranates and precious fruits; let Him come into it and eat His precious fruits. To this the Bridegroom replies:
