The Song of Songs, often referred to as the Song of Solomon, is one of the great love poems of all time. For over 2,000 years it has been a souce of inspiration for poets and lovers for its passionate depiction of love as a cosmic force. In this lyrical new translation, an eminent scholar of anccent Semitic languages and a distinguished poet and translator restore the sensuousness of the original with scrupulous faithfulness to the Hebrew text and a magically fresh sense of the beauty and spirit of the poem.
