Dalí's Illustrations of the Bible | Ecclesiastes 12:6-7
"Remember him—before the silver cord is snapped or the golden bowl is broken or the pitcher is shattered at the spring or the wheel is broken at the well and the dust returns to the earth from which it came and the spirit returns to God[a] who gave it."
"Memento creatoris tui...antequam rumpatur funiculus argenteus...et conteratur hydria super fontem"
