On neither the sun, nor death, can a man look fixedly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye.
He who stands with his face to the East in the morning will have the sun before him. If he does not change his posture, the Earth in the meantime having changed its, he will have the sun no longer before him, but behind.
Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.
But the main things about a man are his eyes and his feet. He should be able to see the world and go after it.
It seems to be a law of nature that no man, unless he has some obvious physical deformity, ever is loth to sit for his portrait.
I'm not a sun person.
If we can't face death, we'll never overcome it. You have to look it straight in the eye. Then you can turn around and walk back out into the light.
The sun has not yet set for all time.
He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.
