Holy Scripture
Song of Solomon 5:6
A church father on this verse
“The bride says, "I sought him, but found him not." How can the bridegroom be found when he does not reveal anything of himself? He has no color, form, quality, quantity, place, appearance, evidence, comparison or resemblance. Rather, everything we can discover always transcends our comprehension and completely escapes…”

6I opened to my kinsman; My kinsman was gone: My soul failed at his speech: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he answered me not.

In context
4My kinsman put forth his hand by the hole of the door, And my belly was moved for him.
5I rose up to open to my kinsman; My hands dropped myrrh, My fingers choice myrrh, On the handles of the lock.
— Song of Solomon 5:6 —
7The watchmen that go their rounds in the city found me, They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the powers and the virtues of the field: If ye should find my kinsman, what are ye to say to him? That I am wounded with love.
