Mount Carmel landscape and rich purple cloth drifting beside the woman's dark flowing hair, no captive king scene.

Song of Songs 7:6

Carmel and Purple

Desire and the Vineyards · Song of Songs 7

Story guide: The woman's head and hair inspire images of Carmel, purple cloth, and a king held captive. Notice the flowing dark hair beside the moving purple fabric. 'Captive' expresses the force of attraction here; the picture illustrates its splendor without staging a royal imprisonment or identifying a particular king.

6Your head crowns you like Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple cloth; a king is held captive in the tresses.
