“[The church] mourns in its eyes, that is in its faithful, because it is written, "Your eyes are as doves apart from your reticence," because they see spiritually and know how to keep silent about the mysteries which they have seen.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — CONSOLATION ON THE DEATH OF EMPEROR VALENTINIAN 7
Original
1Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

— Song of Solomon 4:1 —
2Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
3Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
