Song of Solomon and Courtly 💘

Song of Solomon, also known as Canticles, is the Biblical story of courtly love, the relationship between a knight and his True 💘. In this case, the knight is Solomon and his nymph is a dark female known as the Shulamite woman. She is ashamed of her darkness. She is ashamed of her proletarian job. He is handsome and ruddy. One can easily think of Jacob or David here. Both were rugged men. One can also think of Pan, the pagan faun. Canticles is meant to be just that, spiritual hymns, or runic rhymes. Each Hebrew tune is meditated on individually. This mythic 💘 is taken down to form the tropes that define Dark Ages'legends. One even finds the language copied in Isiah and the Revellation.
