Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

What the eyes see is better than the wandering of desire. This is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

Καλλιον ειναι να βλεπη τις δια των οφθαλμων, παρα να περιπλαναται με την ψυχην· και τουτο ματαιοτης και θλιψις πνευματος.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
