| Man, from Song of Solomon (c1929) Cecil Buller (Canadian, 1886-1973) Wood Engraving 151 x 113 mm |
My beloved is white and ruddy, he towers above ten thousand.
His head is as the finest gold, his locks black as the raven.
His eyes are as doves by the rivers of milk and plenty.
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, his lips like lilies wet with myrrh.
His arms are as gold set with beryl, his loins as ivory overlaid with sapphires.
His thighs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold.
His countenance is as Mount Lebanon, a man like a cedar!
His mouth is most sweet, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
Song of SolomonChapter V, Verse 10-16
