Seeking at Night

The Night Search and the Royal Procession · Song of Songs 3

Story guide: The woman begins a night search from her bed, repeating that she sought her beloved and did not find him. Notice the empty space beside her and the moonlit window. The picture expresses absence within intimacy; the poem's night setting leaves room for a dreamlike experience without declaring it a dream.
