A Time for Everything

The verses in Ecclesiastes are among the most beautiful and famous in the Bible: “Everything has its time. For everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven ...” The lines offer comfort and assurance on all kinds of occasions. Timeless words of wisdom that are deeply rooted in our culture.
With his illustrations, Quint Buchholz sets the familiar lines in surprising contexts: for “there is a time to weep” he depicts a lonely boy on a strangely distorted house. Beside “a time to laugh” is a man doing a somersault in his motorboat. A masterful artist invites us to see this ancient text with new eyes. A lesson in serenity.
