Song of Songs 4:12

A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
All Commentaries on Song of Songs 4:12 Go To Song of Songs 4

Gregory of Nyssa

AD 394
Because a seal protects the inviolability of whatever it guards, it scares off thieves; everything not stolen remains unharmed for the master. Praise of the bride in the Song would then testify to her excellence in virtue because her mind remains safe from enemies and is guarded for her Lord in purity and tranquility. Purity seals this fountain while the radiance and transparency of the bride’s heart is unclouded by no mire of evil thoughts.
