Reading this aloud to a group of nuns?
"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out.

Loved this part!
The state that was home to Pulitzer Prize winners Robert Penn Warren and Cormac McCarthy, not to mention Alex Haley and playwright Tennessee Williams, should have no trouble choosing a more appropriate "state book" (if indeed any state needs to designate a "state book".
