This verse in JPS 1917:

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had turned away, and was gone.
My soul failed me when he spoke.
I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

The tree and the speech act come from Mova's cycle: the small model's draft, read by a large model as teacher, passed by Mova's gates (Elamur Cosmic License). The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the chapter read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence of the chapter.
