Eyes Like Doves

Love Better Than Wine · Song of Songs 1

Story guide: The beloved's praise pauses on the woman's eyes, calling them doves. Her veiled face and the birds nearby let you hold the person and the comparison together. The repeated 'you are beautiful' matters as much as the image: he is addressing her with delighted attention, not cataloguing physical features impersonally.
