Using the  simple metaphor of the spouse and the bride, he sketches a series of  dialogues between God and the soul, rihc in natural imagery. The  fragrant vineyards, fruitful valleys and green hills, flocks of sheep  and clear streams all speak of the Object of mystical love. The images  of the basic Spiritual Canticle are so beautiful and its music so  captivating that many who first heard it begged St John to write a  commentary, together with its profound reflections on the relations of  the soul to God, has become one of the world's richest sources of  meditation. The commentary and the sublime poetry that inspired them  form what is presented here as the complete Spiritual Canticle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780860120612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40611688939726,"sku":"9780860120612","price":60.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780860120612","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
