'My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.'
Song of Solomon.
If you most agreed with the statements in Group One, then (according to John Lee) your love is strongly erotic
in character: passionate, physical, romantic. You want to make love in
the bath but only by candlelight, and all your favourite films have
tearsome, happy endings.
For
you, this Monday: the oldest love poem in the world. The poem was
found etched into a stone using the world's most ancient script: the
beautiful, pictorial cunieform. The poem is 4,000 years old written from a priestess to a king, possibly used for ritual purposes: http://maviboncuk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/istanbul-2461-worlds-oldest-love-poem.html
Some of the poem's phrases are similar to the Bible's Song of Solomon: http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=KjvCant.sgm&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=all.
