עַד אֲשֶׁר לֹא תֶחְשַׁךְ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ, זֶה קְלַסְתֵּר פָּנִים. וְהָאוֹר, זֶה הַחֹטֶם. וְהַיָּרֵחַ, זֶה הַמֵּצַח. וְהַכּוֹכָבִים, אֵלּוּ רָאשֵׁי לְסָתוֹת. וְשָׁבוּ הֶעָבִים אַחַר הַגֶּשֶׁם, רַבִּי לֵוִי אָמַר בָּהּ תַּרְתֵּי, חֲדָא לְחַבְרַיָּה וַחֲדָא לְבוּרַיָּא, חֲדָא לְחַבְרַיָּה, בָּא לִבְכּוֹת זָלְגוּ עֵינָיו דְּמָעוֹת. וַחֲדָא לְבוּרַיָּא, בָּא לְהַטִּיל מַיִם הַגְּלָלִים יוֹצְאִים וּמְקַדְּמִין אוֹתוֹ.
“Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain” (Ecclesiastes 12:2); “Before the sun…are darkened” – this is [a person’s] countenance; “the light” – this is the nose; “the moon” – this is the forehead; “and the stars” – these are the cheekbones. “The clouds return after the rain” – Rabbi Levi said two matters about this, one for Torah scholars and one for ignoramuses. One for Torah scholars: One comes to weep, and his eyes shed tears [copiously]. One for ignoramuses: One who comes to urinate, excrement emerges and precedes it.
