註釋The cover drawing, a depiction of a pomegranate tree that grows on the premises of the Garden Tomb in the old city of Jerusalem, was created by the author. According to J. E. Cirlot’s A Dictionary of Symbols, pomegranates, by nature of their shape and internal structure, symbolize the reconciliation of the multiple and diverse within apparent unity, and in the Bible appear as a symbol of the Oneness of the universe.

Pomegranates were also embroidered on the hems of the Jewish priestly vestments prior to the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. And in the Hebrew scriptures, pomegranates were figured as tokens of fruitfulness even to the extent of being the Tree of Life itself and symbolic of the restoration of God’s favor.
