Make haste, my Beloved, and be Thou like to a roe or a young hart upon the Mountains of Spices. - Canticles 8:14
An allegorical comparison of the nine spices mentioned in Canticles and the nine fruits of the Spirit. The author skillfully shows that the characteristics and weaknesses of temperament which seem to be the greatest hindrances to the Christian life can be transformed into virtues when they are surrendered to the Saviour.
