Bible Question: List of all intimate and romantic words, listed in the book of songs of solomon |
Bible Answer: Words in context. Hello Nexgen. There are, perhaps, words that are obviously "romantic" --- lover, bride, beloved, desire, ... But really, words are intimate or romantic by how they are USED. Thus, while the words "goats" and "sheep" don't strike me as particularly romantic on their own, the Song uses them to romantic effect. Apparently it is romantic to say "Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin...." How our fashion magazines could learn from these images! Often, the most intimate things are not described directly -- so a list of "intimate words" will miss them. One of the sexiest verses in the Bible, in my opinion, is "I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit." (Song of Songs, 7:8) Well, I'm off to take a cold shower. Hope my blurb helps you a little. JRM. |
