Heart within a Heart

Heart within a Heart by *Simian*.
For the curious, the book is the Bible written in the archaic and beautiful language of Church Slavonic. It is open at a page of Isaiah.
I did not intend this photograph to symbolize marriage - in fact the ring is my own and it's not a wedding ring - but people are free to interpret this however they want.
Why did I choose this particular page? Again, I will keep that to myself, as I prefer not to colour the viewer's judgement, even though I appreciate not many of you will be able to decipher the text!
