The Song Of Solomon And The Mystics. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The sense of insatiable desire, the sense of intense and inward personal relationship; so intense that it could only be compared with the closest link of human love, those deepest, most intimate secrets of communion - all these are suggested and symbolised in the poetry of ‚The Song of Solomon‘ honouring that passion through which the human being is drawn to the Divine.
The great saints took this symbolism, adopted and elaborated it to express their pure and ardent passion for The Absolute.
They were essentially pure of heart and they knew by experience the unique nature of spiritual love and they thought that no one can express anything of that pure love of God better than through the symbolism of human love and consummation.
