תּלמוד אויף שיר השירים 4:9

“Kohl to apply to one eye¹¹As make-up..” Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya said, because a woman would paint one eye with kohl and appear in public. Rebbi Abun said, even the most dissolute whore would not do this. But a woman one of whose eyes hurts paints the other with kohl and appears in public. Rebbi Mana said, did we state that she hurts? But a woman would paint one eye with kohl, cover the other, and appear in public⁹²The other eye being covered by the veil. In the Babli 80a this is noted as praiseworthy behavior.. You captured my heart with one of your eyes⁹³Cant. 4:9.. The rabbis of Caesarea in the name of Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya: Because a woman who is blind in one eye paints the other with kohl and appears in public.

Rabbi Shmuel bar Nahmani said Rabbi Yonatan said: What does it mean, what is written, (Song of Songs 4:9) "You have captured my heart, my own, my bride. You have captured my heart with one of your eyes." In the beginning, "with one of your eyes," and when you carry out (the commandments), with two eyes. Ulla said: Wretched is the bride who is licentious under her bridal canopy. Rabbi Mari, the son of the daughter of Shmuel, said: What verse [deals with this issue]? (Song of Songs 1:12) "While the king was on his couch, my nard, etc." Rav said: His affection is still upon us, since it is written: "gave [off its fragrance]" and not writing "it stunk" The sages taught: Those who are insulted but do not insult, those who hear shame and do not answer back, those who act from love and are happy in their suffering, the verse says: (Judges 5:31) "And may His friends be as the sun rising in might."
