• She has to admit, more than once, "I found Him not." Why is this? Is she not seeking the right person? Indeed she is, but at first she seeks Him in a wrong way. She says, "On my bed, I sought Him."

But if we cannot have Christ and spare the flesh, neither can we have Christ and retain the world. (“Canticle 2: The Awakening of Love” by H. Smith)
