The head is the part of us that is highest, which means in a representative sense that it is what is closest to the Lord. Because of this the head represents what is inmost in us, the thing at the center of our being.

In the case of the Lord, however, it often represents His perfect love. And in many cases the head is used to represent the whole person.

The fact that desire and delight is meant is evident without explanation.
