Joseph Smith stated clearly that the Song of Solomon was not an inspired book. However, Joseph was simply noting that this beautiful poetic song did not contain the phrase "It came to pass..." No phase, not inspired.
My guess is that Joseph Smith would have been a big fan of Walt Whitman's Song of Myself.
"I speak the password primeval. I give the sign of democracy." That sign by the way (AKA the sure sign of democracy) is made with raising your right hand to the square, moving your elbow towards your back, and then resting your hand on your head with your fingers making a fluttering motion. Try it, you'll like it.

Joseph Smith liked women.

What do you mean by this? Not that I disagree with the claim, just curious what comes to mind when you make this remark.

what comes to mind ? bad question.
the correct one: who come to mind ?
answer: the other 38 women.
