"Wisdom is
sweeter than honey,
brings more joy
than wine,
illumines
more than the sun,
is more precious
than jewels.
She causes
the ears to hear
and the heart to comprehend.
I love her
like a mother,
and she embraces me
as her own child.
I will follow
her footprints
and she will not cast me away."
- Makeda, Queen of Sheba
