02-1899-06-21 Biblical Resonance Analysis
June 21, 1899 — Jesus Says: “For Love of You I Will Not Leave Corato.” Jesus Jokes with Luisa.
STAGE ONE — INDEPENDENT BIBLICAL IDENTIFICATION
1. “I Will Not Leave You, I Will Never Abandon You”
“I will not leave you, I will never abandon you. You too – come, come to Me.”
Hebrews 13:5 — ‘Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”’
Rationale: Hogan cites Hebrews 13:5. The apostolic citation of the divine never-leave/never-forsake — quoting Deuteronomy 31:6 — is the direct New Testament form of Jesus’s declaration to Luisa. The Hebrews form is the universal apostolic application: the divine promise of permanent presence applies to all who are content in the Lord. Luisa’s fear of abandonment (the opening thought: “who knows whether Jesus will not come any more”) is precisely the anxiety Hebrews 13:5 addresses: the soul tempted to cling to creaturely security is instead directed to the divine “I will never leave you.”
Type: Direct doctrinal parallel — the apostolic never-leave/never-forsake as the New Testament form of the divine declaration. Hogan citation confirmed.
Joshua 1:5 — ‘No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.’
Rationale: Hogan cites Joshua 1:5. The divine commissioning of Joshua — “I will not leave you or forsake you” — spoken at the threshold of the mission is the Old Testament form of the May 31 / June 21 permanent-presence declaration. The Joshua context is specifically the commissioning for mission: the divine promise of presence is given not for the soul’s comfort alone but for the work to be done. Luisa’s mission-context (the Phase One/Two arc; the confessor’s role in opening the Kingdom of the Divine Will) makes the Joshua commissioning parallel structurally precise: the never-abandonment is the promise given to the one sent into difficult territory.
Type: Typological — the Joshuanic commissioning-promise as the Old Testament form of the never-abandonment. Hogan citation confirmed.
Psalm 27:9 — ‘Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.’
Rationale: Hogan cites Psalm 27:9. The Psalmist’s petition — do not hide your face, do not forsake me — is the Old Testament canonical form of the fear that Luisa experiences in the entry’s opening: “who knows whether Jesus will not come any more.” The Psalm 27:9 petition is the prayer form of the abandonment-fear; Jesus’s declaration (“I will not leave you, I will never abandon you”) is the divine response that the psalm implicitly awaits. The fear of divine absence is the canonical human experience; the divine promise of permanent presence is the canonical divine response.
Type: Typological — the Psalm 27:9 petition-against-forsaking as the Old Testament canonical form of the abandonment-fear that Jesus’s declaration answers. Hogan citation confirmed.
John 14:18 — ‘I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.’
Rationale: Hogan cites John 14:18. The dominical “I will not leave you as orphans” — spoken in the farewell discourse as the promise of the Spirit’s coming — is the Christological form of the never-abandonment. The orphan-image is the precise form of Luisa’s fear: the beloved who has gone, leaving the soul without comfort or resource. “I will come to you” is the Christological form of the “come, come to Me” that follows: the divine initiative runs in both directions — Jesus comes to the soul that fears abandonment, and bids the soul come to him.
Type: Christological — the dominical I-will-not-leave-you-as-orphans as the Christological form of the permanent-presence promise. Hogan citation confirmed.
Isaiah 49:15 — ‘“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!’
Rationale: The Isaianic even-these-may-forget / I-will-not-forget — the divine maternal constancy that exceeds even the mother’s bond — is the Old Testament prophetic form of “I will never abandon you.” The divine faithfulness surpasses the most powerful natural bond; the abandonment-fear is given the most intimate possible counterexample: even if a mother could forget her nursing child, the divine cannot forget the soul. The May 26 nursing-context (the sweet milk from Jesus’s mouth) and the June 21 never-abandonment together invoke the same Isaianic maternal-divine constancy.
Type: Typological — the Isaianic divine-maternal-constancy as the Old Testament prophetic form of the never-abandonment.
Deuteronomy 31:6 — ‘Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for the LORD your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”’
Rationale: The Mosaic commissioning of Israel — the divine promise of accompaniment into the territory that generates fear — is the foundational Old Testament form that both Joshua 1:5 and Hebrews 13:5 quote. The Deuteronomy 31:6 promise is the original form of the never-leave/never-forsake: given to a people entering threatening territory, it grounds the Joshua commissioning and the Hebrews apostolic application. Luisa’s “who knows whether Jesus will not come anymore” is the form of the fear that Deuteronomy 31:6 addresses at the founding of the mission.
Type: Typological — the Mosaic commissioning-promise as the Old Testament foundational form of the never-abandonment.
2. “For Love of You I Will Not Leave Corato”
“Not only will I not leave you, but for love of you I will not leave Corato.”
Genesis 18:26–32 — ‘And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous… I will spare the whole place for their sake.”… He said, “For the sake of thirty I will not do it.”… “For the sake of twenty…“… “For the sake of ten.“’
Rationale: The Abrahamic intercession — the divine willingness to spare the city for the sake of the righteous within it — is the Old Testament canonical form of “for love of you I will not leave Corato.” The city protected because of the one person within it who intercedes (or for whose sake the intercession is made) is the Genesis 18 pattern. In May 9 and June entries the partial-protection-of-Corato thread has developed; June 21 makes the Abrahamic structure explicit: the town is not protected because of its own righteousness but “for love of you” — for the sake of the one the Lord loves who remains within it.
Type: Typological — the Abrahamic spare-the-city-for-the-righteous as the Old Testament canonical form of the city-protected-for-love-of-the-intercessor.
Isaiah 37:35 — ‘‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”’
Rationale: The Isaianic divine defense of Jerusalem — “for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David” — is the Old Testament prophetic form of “for love of you I will not leave Corato.” The city protected not for its own merit but for the servant’s sake: the divine love for the servant extends to the city the servant inhabits. Jerusalem is protected because of the Davidic covenant; Corato is protected because of Luisa. The for-the-sake-of-the-beloved structure is identical.
Type: Typological — the Isaianic city-protected-for-the-servant’s-sake as the Old Testament prophetic form of the city-protected-for-love-of-Luisa.
Matthew 5:13 — ‘You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.’
Rationale: The dominical salt-of-the-earth — the preservative presence of the righteous within the world — is the Christological form of the protective function Luisa exercises for Corato. The salt preserves by being present; the righteous soul preserves the community by being within it. The city that retains the salt is the city that is protected; the community whose salt-bearer is removed loses the preservation. “For love of you I will not leave Corato” is the divine confirmation that Luisa is the salt of Corato: her presence is the city’s protection.
Type: Christological — the dominical salt-of-the-earth as the Christological form of the righteous-soul-as-preservative-presence.
3. The Image of Baby Jesus Coming Alive: Playful Consolation
The image of baby Jesus which I have near me seemed to become alive, and every now and then He would put out His head from within the glass bell to see what I was doing; and when He would see that I noticed, immediately He would go back inside.
Matthew 18:3 — ‘and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.’
Rationale: The dominical become-like-children — the kingdom belonging to those who receive with childlike openness — is the Christological form of the Baby Jesus’s playfulness. The child who plays peek-a-boo from behind the glass bell is not merely an image of Jesus in infancy but the self-disclosure of the divine in the mode of childhood: the kingdom of heaven is accessible precisely through the childlike mode of encounter. The peek-a-boo is the kingdom’s native language; Luisa’s forced patience (“I will have patience”) is the adult form that the childlike divine encounter is gently correcting.
Type: Christological — the dominical become-like-children as the Christological form of the Baby-Jesus’s-playfulness.
Proverbs 8:30–31 — ‘then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him, rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.’
Rationale: The Wisdom-figure rejoicing and playing before the Lord — the divine delight at creation expressed as play — is the Old Testament wisdom form of the Baby Jesus’s playful self-disclosure. The divine who “rejoices” and “delights” in the inhabited world is the same divine who peeks out from the glass bell to see what Luisa is doing. The play is not frivolity but the expression of the divine delight in the creature’s response. When Luisa notices the peeking, Jesus retreats — the divine play is responsive to the creature’s gaze, which is the wisdom-form of the divine who “delights in the children of man.”
Type: Typological — the Wisdom-figure-rejoicing-before-the-Lord as the Old Testament wisdom form of the divine playful delight.
Song of Songs 2:9 — ‘My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.’
Rationale: The Song of Songs beloved-gazing-through-the-lattice — the beloved who watches the bride through the partition — is the bridal form of the Baby Jesus peeking out from behind the glass bell. May 23 used Song 2:9 for the playful-disappearing dynamic; June 21 brings the same image to its most concrete form: the actual glass bell as the lattice through which the beloved gazes, withdrawing when seen. The bridal gazelle-who-appears-and-withdraws is now the Baby Jesus peeking through the glass. The bridal and the childhood modes of divine encounter converge in this image.
Type: Typological — the Song of Songs beloved-gazing-through-the-lattice as the bridal form of the Baby Jesus peeking through the glass bell. Second use.
4. “I Will Have Patience”: The Soul’s Forced Acceptance
‘I feel I’m going mad with pain because You are not coming, and You are there playing. Well then, play and joke as You please, for I will have patience.’
Lamentations 3:26 — ‘It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.’
Rationale: The Lamentations waiting-quietly-for-the-Lord — the acceptance of the divine timetable in the midst of suffering — is the Old Testament canonical form of Luisa’s “I will have patience.” The Lamentations context is the aftermath of devastation, where the only posture available to the soul is patient waiting; Luisa’s context is the pain of the divine distance, where the only remaining posture is patient waiting. Both are forced by circumstance rather than freely chosen, but both arrive at the same confession: the Lord’s time is not mine, and the Lord’s mode of coming is not mine to determine.
Type: Typological — the Lamentations waiting-quietly as the Old Testament canonical form of the forced-patience.
Romans 5:3–5 — ‘we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s’
Rationale: The Pauline suffering-produces-endurance chain — first cited at May 16 for the cross-disposes-to-patience teaching — returns in June 21’s context of forced patience. Luisa’s “I will have patience” is not yet the Pauline “we rejoice in our sufferings” but it is the first step of the same chain: the endurance being formed in the moment of the pain-of-divine-distance. The patience forced by the Baby Jesus’s playfulness is the suffering that produces the endurance that produces character. The May 16 cross-to-patience teaching is now being enacted in the specific form of the divine-playfulness-as-cross.
Type: Direct doctrinal parallel — the Pauline suffering-produces-endurance chain as the apostolic form of the patience produced by the divine-distance-as-cross. Second use.
STAGE TWO — COMPARISON WITH HOGAN’S COMMENTARY
CORRESPONDENCES
Psalm 27:9, Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5, John 14:18 — I will not leave you Both analyses identify all four texts as the anchors for the never-abandonment declaration. Complete convergence. Hogan: “these will have to be repeated over and over and over again” — marking the cluster as a recurring reference throughout the corpus.
Corato protected “because of her relationship with Jesus” Both analyses identify the city-protected-for-the-sake-of-the-beloved structure. Hogan states it directly; this analysis provides Genesis 18 and Isaiah 37:35 as the Old Testament typological forms.
The statue of Baby Jesus as playful consolation Both analyses recognize the playful divine consolation. Hogan: “the statue came alive in order to encourage her.” Convergence on the pastoral function; this analysis provides the Song 2:9 and Proverbs 8:30–31 as the literary-theological forms.
DEVIATIONS
Hogan reads the Baby Jesus episode as simple encouragement-consolation; this analysis reads it as pedagogy of freedom Hogan: “the statue came alive in order to encourage her.” This analysis extends the reading through May 23’s playful-disappearing pedagogy (giving Jesus the freedom to come and go) and Song 2:9’s gazelle-gazing-through-the-lattice. The June 21 Baby Jesus is not merely comforting but continuing the pedagogy of May 23: the soul must learn to receive the divine in its chosen mode without grasping.
Hogan notes Luisa’s language is “desperation of someone in pain”; this analysis reads the forced patience as formation Hogan: “this is the desperation of someone in pain.” Accurate pastorally; this analysis adds the Romans 5:3–5 dimension: the desperation is the suffering that produces endurance, which is the cross in the specific form of the divine-playfulness.
ADDITIONS — MINE

Romans 5:3–5 — Suffering produces endurance Second use; the patience-producing dimension of the entry is not engaged by Hogan.
ADDITIONS — HERS
“These scriptures will have to be repeated over and over again” Hogan’s most significant corpus-level editorial note: the never-abandonment cluster (Psalm 27:9, Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5, John 14:18) is not merely a local citation set but a recurring reference that will be needed throughout the corpus wherever Luisa fears abandonment. Hogan is signaling that the abandonment-fear is a recurring structural element, and this cluster is its permanent scriptural response.
The Corato-protection as entirely dependent on the relationship Hogan: “the town is totally protected because of her relationship with Jesus.” The directness of this observation — not Corato’s own virtue but the relationship — is the most precise pastoral summary of the Genesis 18 / Isaiah 37:35 structural logic.
“Impertinent is not a correct word — let’s use ‘too naughty’” Hogan’s editorial correction of the translation is a small but important pastoral note: the Italian original cannot carry the negative weight that “impertinent” has in English, and the playfulness of the Baby Jesus must not be colored by the word’s connotations. This is a translation-level observation with theological significance: the divine playfulness is innocent, not transgressive.
VIP / SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS
No VIP designation. The entry is brief (the shortest in the June sequence), and Hogan’s commentary is correspondingly compact — the opening two minutes of a new audio file (02-05.mp3), establishing the transition into the next segment. The entry functions as a threshold: the close of the May sequence’s intense doctrinal density and the opening of the June continuation.
The entry’s structural significance is not doctrinal but tonal: after the Phase One arc’s doctrinal culmination (June 19 VIP) and the festive love-closing (June 20), June 21 returns to the tender, playful register that characterized the early May entries (May 6 recognition-by-breath, May 23 playful-disappearing). The Jesus who jokes with Luisa from behind the glass bell is the same Jesus who played the disappearing game in May 23. The pedagogy continues; the mode is joy.
STAGE TWO SYNTHESIS
June 21 is a threshold entry — brief, tender, structurally transitional — whose significance lies less in new doctrinal content than in two specific contributions:
First: The never-abandonment cluster (Psalm 27:9, Joshua 1:5, Deuteronomy 31:6, Hebrews 13:5, John 14:18, Isaiah 49:15) receives its most concentrated deployment in the volume. Hogan’s signal that these texts “will have to be repeated over and over” identifies the abandonment-fear as a structural recurring element of the mystical life at this stage, and the cluster as its permanent scriptural antidote. Every future entry where Luisa fears abandonment will draw on this cluster.
Second: The Corato-protection declaration (“for love of you I will not leave Corato”) is the most explicit form yet of the city-protected-for-the-intercessor structure. The Genesis 18 Abrahamic intercession, the Isaiah 37:35 city-defended-for-the-servant’s-sake, and the Matthew 5:13 salt-of-the-earth together constitute the biblical theology of the protective function Luisa exercises for Corato. The partial-protection thread (June 16–17) is now given its most direct divine confirmation: the protection is personal — “for love of you” — not contingent on the city’s own virtue.
The Baby Jesus playing from behind the glass bell is the entry’s most distinctive image and the continuation of the May 23 pedagogy: the divine freedom to come and go in its chosen mode, met by the soul’s forced-patience that is also formation. The Song 2:9 gazelle-gazing-through-the-lattice provides the bridal form; the Proverbs 8:30–31 divine-wisdom-rejoicing provides the cosmic form. The playfulness is not frivolity but the language of the kingdom as it presents itself to the childlike soul.
Cross-Entry Synthesis
June 21, 1899 — Jesus Says: “For Love of You I Will Not Leave Corato.” Jesus Jokes with Luisa.
Note: No VIP designation. Threshold entry opening the new audio segment (02-05.mp3). Brief, tender, structurally transitional. Two primary contributions: the never-abandonment cluster as the permanent scriptural response to the recurring abandonment-fear; and the most direct divine confirmation of the Corato-protection as personal (“for love of you”). The Baby Jesus peeking through the glass bell continues the May 23 pedagogy of divine freedom and extends the Song 2:9 gazelle-through-the-lattice bridal image. Hogan convergences: Psalm 27:9, Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5, John 14:18 (all four never-abandonment anchors confirmed). Key additions: Deuteronomy 31:6 (foundational form), Isaiah 49:15 (divine-maternal constancy); Genesis 18 and Isaiah 37:35 (city-protected-for-the-servant’s-sake); Matthew 5:13 (salt of the earth); Song 2:9 second use; Proverbs 8:30–31.
I. The Never-Abandonment Cluster: Now a Recurring Structural Reference
Hogan’s note — “these scriptures will have to be repeated over and over and over again” — identifies June 21 as the first deployment of what will become a recurring reference cluster. The cluster:
- Psalm 27:9: The petition against forsaking — the prayer form of the abandonment-fear
- Joshua 1:5: The commissioning promise — the never-abandonment given at the threshold of mission
- Deuteronomy 31:6: The foundational form — the original promise that Joshua 1:5 cites
- Hebrews 13:5: The apostolic application — the universal New Testament form
- John 14:18: The dominical form — “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you”
- Isaiah 49:15: The maternal form — “even these may forget; I will not forget you”
Together these six texts constitute the canonical biblical theology of the divine never-abandonment. They cover every mode: petition (Psalm 27), commissioning promise (Deuteronomy/Joshua), apostolic instruction (Hebrews), dominical declaration (John), prophetic comfort (Isaiah). The cluster should be treated as a unit in all subsequent analyses wherever the abandonment-fear appears.
The abandonment-fear itself — “who knows whether Jesus will not come any more, leaving me in abandonment” — is the human experience at the heart of the mystical life’s dark moments. It is not unique to Luisa (it is the Psalm 27:9 petition, the John 14:18 context); it is the structural vulnerability of the soul whose only resource has become the divine presence, and who therefore experiences the divine absence with singular acuity. The formation arc has not removed this vulnerability — if anything, it has deepened it: the soul stripped of all other attachments (April 26 → May 23) is the soul for whom the divine absence is most painful, because it is the soul that has least else to fall back on.
This is the Phase Two entry-point: the soul formed in Phase One (nothingness, detachment, will-stripping, humility) now faces the deepened form of the suffering that Phase One prepared it for. The never-abandonment cluster is the divine answer to the suffering of the stripped soul, not the prevention of that suffering.
II. The Corato-Protection: Personal, Not Conditional
“Not only will I not leave you, but for love of you I will not leave Corato.”
The Corato-protection declaration in June 21 is the most explicit and unconditional form yet in the volume. The progression:
- March 10–14: Chastisements threatening Corato; Luisa’s intercession deflecting them
- May 9: The measure of sins almost complete; Justice wanting to pour out; the victim soul’s intercession as the opposition
- June 16: The town spared “somewhat, though not completely” through Luisa’s intercession; partial success
- June 17: The tired Jesus; the one-third mitigation figure (Hogan)
- June 21: “For love of you I will not leave Corato” — the personal, unconditional declaration
The progression moves from the contingent (intercession deflects specific threats) to the structural (the city is protected because of the relationship). June 21’s declaration is not about a specific threat but about the permanent form of the protection: “for love of you” — the love for Luisa is the ground of Corato’s safety. The Genesis 18 structure (city spared for the righteous within it) is now confirmed in its personal form: not fifty righteous, not ten, but one — and that one is the beloved of Jesus.
The Isaiah 37:35 parallel is the prophetic form of the same structure: Jerusalem defended “for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.” The Davidic covenant is the structural basis for Jerusalem’s protection; the covenant of love with Luisa is the structural basis for Corato’s protection. The Matthew 5:13 salt-of-the-earth formulation is the Christological form: the city is preserved by the salt-presence of the one within it.
This also closes the open thread from June 16–17: the partial success of the intercession, and the question of whether the threshold might shift if sin deepens. June 21’s declaration answers that question: the protection is not calibrated to the town’s virtue but to the love for Luisa. The city is safe as long as she is present and loved.
III. The Baby Jesus Episode: Pedagogy Continued
The peek-a-boo from behind the glass bell is the entry’s most distinctive element and the continuation of two threads:
Thread 1 — The May 23 pedagogy of divine freedom. Jesus played the disappearing game in May 23 specifically to teach Luisa that she must give him the freedom to come and go as he pleases. The Baby Jesus peeking out from behind the glass bell is the same pedagogy in a more playful, less painful form: the divine who is present-but-not-present, available-but-on-his-own-terms, seen-but-then-retreating. The glass bell is the May 23 lattice; the peek-a-boo is the May 23 disappearing-like-a-flash. What was painful in May 23 is here almost comic — Luisa’s resigned “well then, play as You please, for I will have patience” is the soul that has begun to learn the May 23 lesson.
Thread 2 — The Song 2:9 beloved-gazing-through-the-lattice. The bridal beloved who stands behind the wall looking through the windows — present, watching, but not yet entering — is the bridal form of the Baby Jesus behind the glass. When Luisa notices the gaze, the Baby Jesus retreats: the same dynamic as the beloved’s gazelle-bounding. The divine delight in being sought is present; the divine freedom from being grasped is equally present. The bridal and childhood modes of divine encounter converge in the glass-bell image.
Luisa’s response — “I feel I’m going mad with pain because You are not coming, and You are there playing. Well then, play as You please, for I will have patience” — is the soul at the exact moment of the May 23 lesson’s application: she cannot stop the pain, but she can consent to the divine freedom. The patience is forced, not chosen — and that is precisely its value as formation. The Lamentations 3:26 “wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord” is the canonical form of the same forced-patience: not serene acceptance but sustained endurance under the weight of the divine absence.
SYNTHESIS CONCLUSION
June 21 is the gentlest entry in the June sequence — brief, playful in register, free of doctrinal density — but structurally important for two reasons:
First, it deploys the never-abandonment cluster in its most concentrated form and identifies it as a recurring reference (Hogan’s signal). Future analyses should treat the six-text cluster (Psalm 27:9, Joshua 1:5, Deuteronomy 31:6, Hebrews 13:5, John 14:18, Isaiah 49:15) as the canonical biblical response to the abandonment-fear whenever it appears.
Second, it provides the most personal and unconditional form of the Corato-protection: “for love of you I will not leave Corato.” The Genesis 18 / Isaiah 37:35 structure — city protected for the sake of the beloved — is now confirmed in its individual and relational form. The protection is not a reward for the town’s virtue or the success of the intercession but the expression of the divine love for Luisa that extends to her city.
The Baby Jesus behind the glass bell is the Phase Two mode: after the doctrinal intensity of Phase One (June 2–19), the divine encounter returns to the playful, tender register that characterizes the early bridal entries. The formation continues not through further instruction but through the endurance of the divine freedom — the soul learning to receive the coming and going with patience, and finding in the forced patience the formation that the intense instruction could not complete alone.
Observation Notes
See this note in volume context →
02-1899-06-21
The never-abandonment cluster (Psalm 27:9, Joshua 1:5, Deuteronomy 31:6, Hebrews 13:5, John 14:18, Isaiah 49:15) is now the canonical response to the abandonment-fear. Hogan’s signal that it will recur makes this a standing reference — cite the cluster rather than rebuilding it from scratch each time.
The Corato-protection is now unconditional (“for love of you”) — closing the contingency thread from June 16–17. Track whether any subsequent entry revisits the city’s fate or the protection’s scope.
The Phase Two register is established: after June 19’s VIP doctrinal intensity, the encounter returns to the tender-playful mode.
Song of Songs 2:9 second use is now logged (first at May 23, second at June 21). The gazelle-through-the-lattice is becoming a recurring bridal form for the divine appearing-and-withdrawing.
