balm in Gilead
Cure or solace. The announcement comes from the Book of Jeremiah (8:22): “Is there no analgesic in Gilead; is there no physician there?” The King James adaptation translator took as “balm” the Hebrew chat sori, which apparently meant the adhesive of the mastic tree; John Wycliffe translated it as “gumme” and Miles Coverdale as “triacle” (treacle). By the nineteenth century, the appellation was acclimated figuratively for alleviation in a time of trouble, by Edgar Allan Poe (in “The Raven”), Charlotte Brontë, and others.Learn more: balmLearn more:
