Endnote 4 – Unlocking the Poetry of Love in the Song of Songs

Marcia Falk, Love Lyrics from the Bible: A Translation and Literary Study of the Song of Songs (The Almond Press: Sheffield, 1982). For Ms. Falk’s translation without her literary comments but with illustrations by Barry Moser, see her 1977 book. Interestingly enough, when the poet Robert Graves, who is not a Hebrew scholar, turned his attention to the Song of Songs, he chose to render it into lyrical prose, The Song of Songs, illustrated by Hans Erni (William Collins Sons & Co.: London, 1973).
