[many-sparrows]

People who read the Song of Songs and strip away all of the sexuality and pretend it's all intellectual and allegorical are so BORING. Look me in the eye and tell me there isn't something holy about two people desiring each other and finding a bodily union there in. Try to tell me that's not god-ordained come ON

Slashy Jesus/John the Baptist Poem

So, @one-coming-is-enough! I see you've been reblogging a ton of You/Judas slashy art. I want to offer up a poem that one of my most devout followers, @mischief-and-tea-by-the-sea, wrote years ago for a Bible as Lit class that wound up in their poetry thesis manuscript for grad school. It's in the style of Rumi and Song of Songs, if you will, and I think you'll like it. It's you and John the Baptist. I think you'll dig.

I love that my favorite poem/collection of poetry compares love to the intoxication of wine because like omggg it soooo is the sameee 😭. I’ve never had wine (obviously) but every thing i’ve seen of being drunk compares quite nicely to my experience with being in love. I.e. it feels great in the moment but the hangover SUCKSSSSSSSSSSS

SONG OF SONGS 8 is everything with breath wounded into silence? do they dwell, too, in the gardens? who says to my voice: “let me heart it”? behold: these walls do not wish to speak.

It has come to that time of year, on our Bible reading plan (Robert Roberts', if you're curious) where we approach The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's. We were listening to it in the car today and I found it fascinating to spark thoughts. It's wonderfully pure, and that was what really struck me - it's unlike a lot of the vaguely or outright NSFW stuff I hear about nowdays, which seems to exist in a cheapened and vulgarised form. Call me a prude all you like, but I maintain that. Song of Solomon is incredibly erotic (especially if you think a bit on some of the euphemisms it employs) but with a certain innocence and purity that suits the subject matter far more than the crude 'humour' popularised today.

It then caused me to consider how, if at all, it could in the future be applicable to me. The answer is at this point I don't know. I'm in no way denying that I'm female! but the truth of the matter is I do not want to be perceived as a woman, and I don't really know how that ever fits with marriage. Unfortunately I am a creature of complications and contradictions. I suppose I differentiate between being female, and being a woman, by saying that the latter is that I do not want to be perceived as a sexual or (at this point) romantic possibility for anyone (not even the boy I am interested in, but that more because I know he specifically is not interested, so I don't know, if magically his feelings changed, what would happen. Still, that's irrelevant because it sha'n't happen). But at the same time I want it very much, at least in theory. I suppose that if God sees fit to bless me with someone who would be interested in me, that it'll all work out - one way or another - even if that simply shows me that I'm more suited to be single.

Occasionally I think about the two brave lads at the church conference in January who went there with the expressed intention of finding girls to try and consider a future with. They were going around talking to all the girls they could. One determined he wasn't interested in me pretty quickly, and the other I think I accidentally scared off with what I only intended as 'hey you can leave the convo if you want I won't be offended' but hindsight suggests that it probably sounded like I was saying to get lost. Ah well! Still I think about them because I really hope they each found someone. And I vaguely wish someone would come for me, but I don't know either if I should like it, at all, or if I would even become aware of it if they were interested. I'm always weird with boys. There's the boy at work who just because he has a pleasant smile and uses it very frequently, I get weird around him and cannot meet his eyes. I wouldn't call it flustered because it's not really - just weird.

But yeah, I love Song of Solomon and think it exceedingly beautiful.

"Das Hohelied Salomos" (№11)

by Egon Tschirch

Tempera on Cardboard, 1923.

Kunstmuseum Ahrenshoop.

Tschirch's Das Hohelied Salomos History:

Song of Songs is a painting cycle by Egon Tschirch comprising 19 sheets and 13 studies. Shown above is the 11th sheet.

Initially, Tschirch worked on the prompt Song of Songs in 1913, but as we all know, the Great War was going on, which interrupted the artist's process since he had to partake in the warfare. In 1923, Tachirch's exhibit debuted at the Kulturhistorische Museum, and because of high praise, it was presented at the Staatliches Museum Schwerin the following year.

Tschirch later gave the works to a painter friend for private ownership, which were then inherited after the friend's death in 1928 and left in a Berlin cellar near Kurfürstendamm to be wholly forgotten. However, the art was excavated from the basement and discarded in 2008 until found by a doctor in 2015 while researching the artist. Upon the discovery, the doctor allowed the works to be brought back to public display.

Song of Songs History:

שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים in biblical Hebrew, the Song of Songs is a series of erotic poems found in the Tanakh (one of the five megillot parts in the Ketuvim section). The texts explores two lovers celebrating their desire and intimacy.

Read during the Sabbath of Passover, the poems are interpreted differently depending on the biblical religion, but in the end, it comes down to two allegories: 1) God's relationship with Israel, 2) Jesus' relationship with his bride (the bride being a metaphor for the church).

However, the scroll does not need to be attributed strictly to a religious basis to be appreciated, as it can be seen as a commemoration of human love, both involving the complexities and the beauty of such natural emotion.

REFLECTIONS based on THE SONG OF SONGS pt. 8/8

the last part🫶this was the project i did for my bachelors' degree, that i continued working on for half a year despite having already graduated with it. the subject is all about love & my search for its meaning, what it is to me personally, expressed through color, symbols and composition. this was a very difficult project to begin and to finish but i was adamant about it no matter how long it took, i felt myself growing less satisfied with the very base of the drawings as i was working on it so really i could've spent an eternity reworking it, but i wanted to at least bring it to the point that i envisioned in the beginning. the point of the project was less about creating something beautiful and more about learning about myself, about love and about art. i think i learned a lot & i look forward to drawing new things💖
