On neither the sun, nor death, can a man look fixedly.

Summary

This quote suggests that there are certain things in life, such as the sun and death, that are so powerful or mysterious that humans cannot fully comprehend or confront them directly. They are overwhelming forces that defy complete understanding and control. Just as one cannot stare at the sun without being blinded, or simply confront death without being profoundly affected, there are limits to what the human mind can comprehend or handle. It humbles us, reminding us of the limitations of our existence.
