Song of Songs (KJV)

Description
Breathtaking and beautiful, the sweetest song of all ages unveils the Shulamite journey in the form of an anointed allegory. It becomes a journey that not only describes the divine parable penned by Solomon, but also a journey that longing lovers of Jesus will find as their very own. Love will always find a language to express itself. The inspired Song of Songs is a work of art. It is a melody sung from the heart of Jesus Christ for his longing bride. Its storyline is full of symbols and show more subtle art forms which, without interpretation, are often missed or overlooked. The Passion Translation expresses this storyline in a way that will help you encounter the heart of God in greater measure. The Holy Spirit has hidden within the Song of Songs an amazing story--a story of how Jesus makes his bride beautiful and holy by casting out her fear with perfect love. This sent-from-heaven revelation is waiting to be received with all its intensity and power to unlock the deepest places of our hearts. show lessTags

A facsimile of the famous 1925 edition by Golden Cockerel Press. Eric Gill's blending of the erotic and biblical was controversial at the time, and remains controversial now due to Gill's later fall from grace. Nonetheless, the book remains an important part of fine press history and the Folio Society's reproduction was well done.
Flint's illustrations are marvelous. I don't think I have very much of his work, although it looks familiar. I've always loved these verses.
Lyrical and even a little hot!
If you need inspiration for a romance don't want me to read, check out SOS. It is so flowery and mushy and *shivers*
I don't care for love songs and romance.
