- His eyes:
- Rather, "His eyes are as doves;" the deep blue pigeon, the common dove in the East, whose brilliant plumage vibrates around his neck every sparkling hue, every dazzling flash of colour. And this pigeon standing amid "the torrents of water," or the foam of a waterfall, would be a blue centre with a bright space like the iris of the eye, surrounded by the white. "Behold,¹ thou [art] fair,ª my love;ª behold,¹ thou [art] fair;ª thou [hast] doves'ª eyes.ª" {Sgs 1:15} + "Behold,¹ thou [art] fair,ª my love;ª behold,¹ thou [art] fair;ª thou [hast] doves'ª eyesª withinª¹ thy locks:ª thy hairª [is] as a flockª of goats,ª that appearª¹ from mountª¹ Gilead.ª" {Sgs 4:1} + "Neitherªª is¹ there²° any creatureª that is not manifestª in his² sight:ª¹ butª all thingsª [are] nakedª andª openedª° unto the¹ eyesª of himª withª whomª we have² to do.ª¹" {Hbr 4:13}
