Near and Far

Jaihoon’s lyric explores the paradoxical nature of love, using biblical allusions to depict the tension between longing and reverence.

Flee not so far,
Lest I lose my sight,
Like Jacob of Canaan.

Hey, my love-cheeked Beloved.

Approach not so close,
Lest I faint,
Like Moses of Egypt.
