ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΕΠΙΜΕΤΡΟ ΤΗΣ ΑΝΘΗΣ ΛΕΟΥΣΗ

And if allegory is to meaning what the nest and hiding place are to the bird, and if in every fruit the outline, shape, and color reside in the peel while its sweetness lies within the flesh, then The Conference of the Birds as a whole becomes an allegory of the human soul’s search for God.
