Song of Songs Lamentations Quotes

“The woman's experience in the Song of Songs brings out the deep structure of the human soul. The Sehnsucht that C.S. Lewis describes is not an allegory of our need for love and ultimately for God; it is an expression of it. A passing glimpse of glory one may catch when looking at the heavens, or when listening to music, or when reading the words of an epic poem is a breaking out of this deep yearning for that which is good, beautiful, and loving. When people experience love, joy, freedom, and intimacy on any level, they are experiencing something that redeems human nature. Knowing God is therefore the ultimate experience of redemption; every other redemptive experience is real but limited, like a foreshadow.”
― Duane Garrett, Song of Songs Lamentations
