How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. (Song of Songs 4:1)

The Lover responds with a cascade of praise.

Eyes that gently and intently gather or suddenly rise as one and dance in the sky.

Curls of brown, gold, tan, and flax tumbling down the mountain side glistening at sundown.

The Hebrew for dove and for wine are each derived from a word meaning to effervesce.

Goat - the Hebrew is 'ez - is derived from 'azaz meaning to be strong.

A simile asserts similiarity where most would perceive only essential differences.

The purpose, according to Samuel Johnson, is to "illustrate and ennoble the subject."

This is certainly the purpose of a Lover.
