Biblical Reading and Reflections: December 27th (Song of Songs 4 & Luke 22:54-71)
Alastair's Adversaria
The Metaphors of the Song of Songs
In the opening verses of chapter four alone, eyes are compared to doves and hair to goats leaping down a mountain side. The metaphors themselves have an ecstatic character, their purpose being that of allowing sparks to fly between things that might otherwise seem to have no relation. They invite us to recognize the mysterious ways in which our existence is in profound continuity with that of the rest of the natural order. By means of such exuberant metaphors, their love transfigures the entire world.
