Graphic Bible · Scene 14 of 14
Song of Songs 8:14
Mountains of Spices
A Love Many Waters Cannot Quench · Song of Songs 8
Story guide: The woman calls her beloved a gazelle or young stag on fragrant mountains, returning to an image used earlier in the song. Notice the animal bounding toward the slopes. The ending keeps desire lively and open: it closes with a call and a comparison, rather than resolving the lovers' story into a final event.
