Beautiful similitude of the dove's flight, to describe the soul's earnestness for quiet! Not to fly as a bird of prey, but as a bird of peace. Blessed Jesus! how suited is this to thee, thou meek and lowly Lamb of God, in all thy dove-like deportment! My soul! dost thou not long to flee away also to Jesus, as thy rest, thy Noah, thine ark, in whom alone thou canst find rest or peace? Genesis 8:9; Psalms 116:7; Isaiah 28:12; Matthew 11:28.
