Summary

This quote suggests that while knowledge can be acquired, wisdom is something that takes time to develop and sticks with a person. It implies that wisdom is gained through the accumulation of life experiences, and as one grows older and approaches the end of their life, they carry with them the burdens and lessons of these experiences. The "stillness of his rest" could refer to the peacefulness or contentment that comes with the wisdom gained from a lifetime of learning and reflection.
