Sommario/riassunto

This study focuses upon the language of the Song of Songs in an attempt to see how individual images work together in the constitution of a poetic unity. The perception of certain 'imaginative fields', each of which organizes a range of related imagery, is helpful to an appreciation of the symbolic density which certain images acquire in the course of the Song's movement and to an acknowledgment of their capacity for narrativity.

Sommario/riassunto

Compassion is an attribute of a person’s affective understanding, which aims to enable, so far as possible, shared experiences of the world’s ills and some alleviation of those ills’ effects.
Such an attribute is thus of great value within healthcare institutions such as general practices
and other primary and community healthcare settings. It may characterise the people
who participate in those institutions; or, it may not so characterise them. The appearance
of compassion, under certain conditions and even in fragile and incomplete forms, is a kind
of human excellence, a way of being for the good in community.* Compassion is not, therefore,
a commodity, to be bought, sold and traded. Although time can be costed, there is no
line for compassion in any budget. Were compassion to be thought a commodity, one could
imagine trading it off against some more measurable factor (efficiency,



cost-effectiveness, etc.).
However, our human capacity for compassion, though fragile, tends to resist such marginalisation
and reductionism.
