Selected Poems of Jehudah Halevi

ebook
The gift of song, cherished and tended as it was by the Spanish Jews of the Middle Ages, reached its highest development in the poems of Jehudah Halevi. His love poems are made of dew and fire. But in his poems to Zion there is no such combination of a poet’s ordinary artifices. It is his soul that is the instrument—and on his heartstrings is played the song of Israel’s hope.
