and those they invoke besides Him respond to them in nothing, except like one who stretches out his palms toward water so that it may reach his mouth, never reaching it.

And when Moussa said to his young companion: "I will not stop until I reach the meeting-place of the two seas, though I journey for a prolonged period."

Then he followed a link, until, having reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had made, on the near side of it, no shelter. So it was.
