Beulah, Land of

The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | | © The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature 2003, originally published by Oxford University Press 2003. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Beulah, Land of, see Isa. 62: 4. Derived from the Hebrew word for ‘married’, Beulah was traditionally equated with the erotic garden paradise of the biblical Song of Songs allegorized by Christians as the marriage of Christ and his Church. In Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress Beulah is a pastoral paradise of birdsong and eternal flowers. Beulah is used by Blake to represent a state of Light (often associated with the third state of vision and sexual love): its symbol is the moon.
