Dear All,
The Song of Songs was, as some may know, famously used by Cary Grant in a
film the name of which I can't remember, when he kept on quoting phrases
from it in his attempt to woo a fair lady. Perhaps this example of popular
culture may have given many people the wrong impression about the status of
the book...
Cheers,
