The King Who Fell

ByJohn Pople

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth” opens the Hebrew Old Testament’s most enigmatic mystery: Solomon’s Song of Songs. Solomon and his Bride share their intensely passionate expressions of love, ascetic and sexual, poetically framed as a chiasm, i.e. in two anti-symmetric halves. The Song’s lovers are forever imprinted as timeless emblems for this flawless - yet godless - love; and the Divine Hand enriches the Song symbolically, creating an allegorical overlay pregnant with spiritual truths. The literal story-line and interwoven allegory coexist effortlessly: rooting the Song on Earth does not limit it reaching to Heaven.
