Song of Songs

                I would describe this as three things. Confusing, detailed, and what I imagine to be romantic if I were to understand it. I related it to what I was talking about in the Intro. How to describe something that cannot really be seen people use other objects to describe it, as beautiful as a rose in bloom. Yet in this poem, these metaphors made it even more confusing. Such as “My beloved is like a gazelle, like a young stag”. Now if someone said that to me I wouldn’t know whether or not to be flattered or appalled. “Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes as they come up from the washing.” See I imagine a bunch of white feathered emu’s by a water’s edge scrubbing their undies, so romantic.
