the land of the living

the land of the living

Figuratively: in life. Among living human beings.

("And wisdom, from where will it be found, and where is the place of understanding? Man knows not its value, nor is it found in the land of the living" – Job 28:12-13. Also: "The war–/ a weary history of pointless shelling, which somehow/ builds the meaning of your wild breaths/ in the land of the living/ futile battles" – David Avidan, Long-term Hatred)
