These figs - with the grapes,
And pomegranates -
Are fruit of the Land.
(Judges 9:10,11)
Whatever surrounds,
Observe in the fig-tree
Determination to produce
Its sweetness.
(! Kings 4: 25)
Security without anxiety:
Throughout the land dwell
Every man
Under his vine and fig-tree.
(1 Chronicles 12: 40)
Food on asses and camels,
Mules and oxen:meal,
Fig-cakes, raisin-cakes ...
Joy's hospitality.
(Proverbs 27: 18)
Who keepeth the fig-tree -
Digging about it, labouring,
Putting dung - as reward
Shall eat the fruit thereof.
(Song of Songs 2: 13)
The winter chills,
The chill works
Within. Sun revives;
The winter figs mellow.
(Isaiah 37: 21)
Even for an irruption
Of vileness from within
The plaster of figs
Provides healing.
