Poets have been writing in Hebrew since Biblical times. One of the
oldest tongues known to man, its rich simplicity has inspired
poetry whose hallmarks are immediacy and passion. Although much of
Hebrew poetry has traditionally focused on the religious and
philosophical, the theme of love has remained vivid throughout the
centuries of Jewish life. This beautifully illustrated book of more
than ninety love lyrics translated from the Hebrew is a celebration
of this enduring theme. Ranging from The Song of Songs to poetry
from modern Israel, there are poems of praise and devotion, quiet
reflection, joyous celebration, carefree humor, and sensuous
beauty. Shraga Weil's delicate, evocative illustrations are the
perfect complement to the works they accompany. Included are the
works of King David, the Psalmist, King Solomon, author of The Song
of Songs, Nobel Laureate S.Y. Agnon, as well as Yehuda Halevi,
Chaim Nachman Bialik, Saul Tchernikhovsky, Rachel, Uri Zvi
Greenburg, Moses Ibn-Ezra, Judah Al-Harizi, Natan Alterman, David
Fogel, T. Carmi, Leah Goldberg, and others.
