Translation: Gardens enclosed, and Grapevines; 5905
Commentary:
5905 The supreme Achievement, or the Fulfilment of the Heart's Desires, spoken
of in the last verse, is now described in three symbols (verses 32-34), as further
explained by two negatives (verse 35). The first symbol is the enclosed Fruit
Garden , and the symbol taken for the fruit is the Grape. The Garden in its many
aspects is the most frequent symbol adopted for Bliss. Here the symbolism is
further particularised. The most carefully-tended Garden is a Fruit Garden , with
walls all round to protect it, and the most characteristic fruit mentioned here is the
luscious Grape. (R).
