Solomon Ben

Famous quotes containing the words solomon and/or ben:

    I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens. As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

    And showed the names whom love of God had blessed,
    And, lo! Ben Adhem’s name led all the rest!
