These articles are my favorite way to begin the end of the weekend. They are free of all the static of the news and cause one to be quite reflective. With Elegy, not only does the author channel Hamlet, but I feel a tinge of the Preacher in Ecclesiastes. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity... Thanks for another wonderful contribution.

I pondered long on Ecclesiastes helped along by David GibsonтАЩs Living Life Backwards. Loaned my copy to a friend - but feel the need to re-read.

Consider also When Everything You Wanted Isn't Enough, by the late Rabbi Harold Kushner. It's an extended thought on Ecclesiastes/Qohelet. Of course, Kushner was also author of the very famous When Bad Things Happen to Good People.
