• Chapter 8, as has been said, stands by itself, and recapitulates the principles of the whole book. (“Song of Solomon 8” by A. Miller)
• Chapter 8 stands by itself, and appears to me to recapitulate the principles of the whole book. It returns to the foundation of that which gave rise to all these exercises. The full satisfaction of all the desires of the remnant is prophetically announced, and the path of their affections is marked out. But this picture is drawn for the encouragement of those who are not yet enjoying it, and expresses the desire for its accomplishment. (“Song of Solomon 8” by J.N. Darby)
• She desires that all might know her love to the King. “Oh that Thou wert as my brother”, she says, then indeed I could manifest my love before all without any impropriety: "Should I find Thee without, I would kiss Thee; and they would not despise me." To express our love to Christ in a world that has rejected Him will call down the hatred of the world; but the time is coming when without hindrance we can publicly witness our love to Christ without being despised. (“Canticle 5: The Witness andd Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
