A Love Many Waters Cannot Quench · Song of Songs 8
Story guide: The poem insists that water cannot extinguish love and wealth cannot buy it. Notice the small flame surviving beside the rushing river. The impossible contrast makes love's endurance visible; the final statement adds another kind of resistance, rejecting the attempt to reduce such a bond to a purchase.
Open this scene in the reader →7Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly despised.
