Song of Songs (1)

in #songofsongs7 years ago (edited)

Song of Songs from the Old Testament has a specific place in my life. In this post I will only share some masterpieces that were inspired by this poem, In some future texts I will write about many interpretations of it's meaning and about other works of art based on Song of songs (such as a wonderful novel by Alexandr Kuprin named "Shulamith", a lyrical reconstruction of how the poem might have been created).
