Graphic Bible · Scene 4 of 11
Song of Songs 1:5
Dark and Lovely
Love Better Than Wine · Song of Songs 1
Story guide: The woman addresses the daughters of Jerusalem and insists that her dark appearance and beauty belong together. Notice her confident stance beside the dark tent fabric. The comparisons with tents and royal curtains give her self-description texture and dignity; they are images of her beauty, not grounds for dismissing it.
