Song of Songs 5:12
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. Son 1:15, Son 4:1, Heb 4:13 fitly set: Heb. sitting in fulness, that is, fitly placed, and set as a precious stone in the foil of a ring.
