I suppose the fountain is depicting the fountain of life with Christ at its head. But there are normally four flows (the four rivers). I suppose the fourth one is on the other side of the fountain and we can't see it. Could it be Mt Sinai in the background? But why? It could be Exodus, when God gave life giving water, but I can't see Moses being depicted in that way.
Got to go out now, but if someone wants to save me the trouble of having to read the book when I get home later tonight and gives me the answer, I shall be a Happy Bunny

Quote:He says:to which she replies
Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices.
You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.
Quote:Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.
