Bartleby. Song of Songs 2:1-17

11 For, lo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone;
12 the flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 the fig tree putteth forth her green figs,
and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell.
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

Well said, I couldn't have said it better. The mysterious speaker urges his 'love', an adressee that has just as well remained a mystery to all sorts of interpreters, to get out of prison, it seems. It's time to run as the deer runs, and be thou like a roe or a young hart, and get out of prison. There seem to be two or three main roles, and they urge one another to get out of prison. Or there may a collective stronger in numbers, threescore, fourscore or more. Some seem to have tried to break in and seek the prisoners, the watchmen have gave them a lesson, though. (It may sound comical but it isn't. Or they were to break out, it isn't clear at all. If it wasn't Solomon I would think some idiot was joking. Not very practical, is it. Very probably intentionally veiled too.) However, they are unsuccesful. As a result, they get sick. It says sick of love, but that would be the obvious meaning everybody initiated into the 'mysteries' of St. Valentine's day and, to begin with, content to remain in prison, could understand.

That's some things logical thinking can produce. Psychological method sees more. One thing is: we've got superb form here that flawlessly conveys an emotion that is seldom found elsewhere. (That would be an example of a simple statement that nonetheless cannot be made by the logical method.)

The esoteric level would then see infinitely more. Let's imagein somebody who is Awake reads this. He sees everything connected with everything, a fullness that nobody can describe. And yet this is created/described in the Song of Songs.

Remarks. Well, how about some experimenting with it, in order to suck out some practical instruction? Hm, daughters of Jerusalem...: don't urge people out of prison as long they like it? Hey Bible there! How about instructing - apart from daughters from Jerusalem, those who want to, how to get out of prison, eh? It's impossible that the enlightened authors of the Bible hadn't left hints behind. It's also not likely they had left them in a manner that enables the watchmen to read and understand it. Must read more carefully next time, I guess. Also, don't ask prison watchmen about love, that much is clear. (Want to get sick, eh? What about some extra bruise? No, you don't.) The hint says: just do it. How?! Just do it. Be free. Wow. So it's not an escape from Alcatraz? No? Just like that? "Be like a hart"... "But how???!!! I am in pri..." "Shut up. It is not written for fools anyway. Just do it." "Yeah well, do WHAT? And WITHOUT 19 companions?" "It's all there. Can't you even read? It's your problem if you make it all look like a commercial." Also, it is the first time fig tree is seen doing something, it says it putteth forth her figs. Wow. Just as vines give a good smell and fig tree puts forth its fruit and birds sing, some people are called to their task of arising and coming away. Hmm... I know: bye bye. See? I'm gone.
