Object details

• Images of suite components:

  • King Solomon
  • Let him kiss mee with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
  • Looke not upon mee that I am blacke, because the sonne has looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me, they made me the keeper of the vineyards, but mine own vineyard have I not kept
  • I have compared thee, o my love, to a company of horses in Pharoahs chariot
  • Behold, thou art fair, thou hast doves eyes.
  • The voice of my beloved! Behold! He commeth leaping upon the mountaines, skipping upon the hils [sic1
  • My belowed is like a roe, or a young hart: behold he standeth behind our wall, he looked fourth [sic] at the windowe, he peereth through the lattesse.
  • Behold his bed, which is Solomons: therefore valient men are about it, of the valient of Israel.
  • Thou art all faire, my love, there is no spot in thee.
  • I am my beloved, my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies
  • I went downe into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranat budded.
  • Returne, returne, Shulamite: return, that we may looke upon thee: that will yee see in the Shulamite: as it were the company of two armies.
• Salvador Dalí
