To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
628.
'In speaking to or of the girl personally the dreamer calls her: "that jewel" (253; cf. 277), "that gem" (289; cf. 266), "that precious piece" (192, 229). Even Christ is a "dear jewel" (795).
3 618 WILLIAM HENBY 8CHOFIELD.
In one place it is made personal with the same sort of phraseology : {g) "Since into grass thou slipped away from me" (245).
Literalness is, of course, out of the question. A young girl does not slip through the hands of a mourner and trundle down into the grass, any mor...e than a rose turns into a pearl (no matter what coffer or chest it is put in), or a dropped pearl becomes a " seemly seed '' yielding " springing spices," or a maiden speaks pearls.
Practically, however, the main thought of the poem is summed up in the word " pearl '' ; and in a consideration of the gem's attributes there originated many sorts of symbolical suggestion.
It is of small moment that both the gem and the girl are repeatedly called " precious," or " merry," or " gentle," or even " smooth " and " small." It is of more import- ance that both are " clean," " pure " and " white " — " undefiled," " without spot," " immaculate." Herein lies the final and chief teaching of the work, that those who dwell with Christ in heavenly joy are " pearls," spotless in His sight.
