Song of salomon

7:1 How beautiful are your feet in their shoes, O king's daughter! The curves of your legs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a good workman:7:2 Your stomach is a store of grain with lilies round it, and in the middle a round cup full of wine.7:3 Your two breasts are like two young roes of the same birth.7:4 Your neck is as a tower of ivory; your eyes like the waters in Heshbon, by the doorway of Bath-rabbim; your nose is as the tower on Lebanon looking over Damascus:7:5 Your head is like Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple, in whose net the king is prisoner.7:6 How beautiful and how sweet you are, O love, for delight.7:7 You are tall like a palm-tree, and your breasts are like the fruit of the vine.7:8 I said, Let me go up the palm-tree, and let me take its branches in my hands: your breasts will be as the fruit of the vine, and the smell of your breath like apples;7:9 And the roof of your mouth like good wine flowing down smoothly for my loved one, moving gently over my lips and my teeth.7:10 I am for my loved one, and his desire is for me.7:11 Come, my loved one, let us go out into the field; let us take rest among the cypress-trees.7:12 Let us go out early to the vine-gardens; let us see if the vine is in bud, if it has put out its young fruit, and the pomegranate is in flower. There I will give you my love.7:13 The mandrakes give out a sweet smell, and at our doors are all sorts of good fruits, new and old, which I have kept for my loved one. I think think this part of the bible is so beautiful, its all about love

• Song 1:1 . . Solomon's song of songs.

Solomon penned quite a few songs; something like 1,005 (1Kings 4:32).
Whether he wrote the music too or just the lyrics; I don't know; maybe. He
was a very intelligent guy, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was a
musician; nor even that he could carry a tune; but then he didn't have too.
Solomon had a number of professional singers on the payroll. (Ecc 2:8)

"song of songs" suggests a colloquialism like Sadaam Hussein's "mother of
all wars". In other words: this particular song may have represented
Solomon's best work to date.

In a number of places throughout Song, speakers don't address anyone in
particular. In point of fact, quite a bit of dialogue throughout Song is what's
called soliloquy; defined by Webster's as a poem, discourse, or utterance of
a character in a drama that has the form of a monologue, or gives the
illusion of being a series of unspoken reflections. In other words: talking with
and/or to one's self.

We will also be running across places where the soliloquy isn't vocal; rather,
imagined; viz: thoughts.

The Juliet in this musical story is assumed to be a girl called Shulamite
(Song 6:13), from the Hebrew word Shuwlammiyth (shoo-lam-meeth')
which is apparently a pet name rather than a real name. It means peaceful;
defined by Webster's as untroubled by conflict, agitation, or commotion, i.e.
quiet, tranquil, and devoid of violence and force.

The "untroubled" aspect of her pet name caught my attention because it
strongly suggests, at least to me anyway, that Song's Juliet didn't lose her
composure under duress; in other words: she was unlikely to throw a hissy
fit when things didn't go her way.

That's a fitting pet name for the girl because later on in Song, she's spoken
of as a dove; a bird well-known the world over as having a gentle
personality.

Personally I don't much care for the name Shulamite because it's not all that
feminine, and it suggests an ethnic identity rather than a pet name; so from
here on in I will be calling her Shulah.

BTW: Solomon's Hebrew name Shelomoh (shel-o-mo') compliments Shula's;
it means peaceful, which is pretty much the same meaning as hers.
However, I don't really care for the sound of that name so I'll be referring to
him as Shiloh from here on in. (cf. Gen 49:10)
