Quotation sur L’Ecclésiaste 1:5
וְזָרַ֥ח הַשֶּׁ֖מֶשׁ וּבָ֣א הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ וְאֶ֨ל־מְקוֹמ֔וֹ שׁוֹאֵ֛ף זוֹרֵ֥חַֽ ה֖וּא שָֽׁם׃
Le soleil se lève, le soleil se couche: il se hâte vers son point de départ, où il se lèvera encore,
Footnotes to Kohelet by Bruce Heitler
The sun yearns to return to the place where it shines. The word "sho'ef" indicates a persistent ambition which stands in contrast to the insubstantial nature of a person's perception. The matters of the physical world are constant and reliable; the perception of man is transitory and incapable of being firmly grasped.
