Sulamith

A Romance of Antiquity

By the Author of "Yama" (The Pit), etc.

Translated from the Russian by B. G. Guerney

(1908)

An ode to 'eternal love' "Sulamith" is based on the Bible's "The Song of Songs", a celebration of s****l love.

Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals

thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.--THE SONG OF SONGS
