Song Chapters 4-8

.
The remainder of Solomon's love song is a bit mushy. It's filled with the lovers' expressions of admiration and praises for each other; which more or less speak for themselves and require neither explanation nor comment.

To cap our remarks, I'd like to borrow a pertinent line from the 1995 movie "Sabrina" starring Julia Ormond, Harrison Ford, and Greg Kinnear.

While strolling with a friend in Paris, Sabrina expressed her feelings for Kinear's character David, who at the time was living back in the States. Sabrina and David weren't an item; they'd never dated nor had he even once shown the slightest interest in her; yet Sabrina regarded David as the love of her life, and had only good things to say about him. But Sabrina didn't know the real man; rather, her concept was an imagination, i.e. a fantasy.

After Sabrina told her friend how that thoughts of David keep her company, the friend remarked:

"Illusions are dangerous people because they have no flaws."

Well; Solomon's song has only good things to say about Shiloh and about Shulah, viz: they're both flawless; but that's an illusion-- in real life, nobody is flawless; and some flaws can be rather intolerable once we get to know them.

Buen Camino
