("He who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's" — Psalms 103:5; and: "And there is the dead melody, it shall rise to life... the melody returned and was renewed, and suddenly rose to the heart, and a new feeling — a new soul — was breathed into it by the musician, and he renewed his youth!" — Y. L. Peretz, The Metamorphosis of a Melody; and: "Terrible: we have been purified in blood, in a curse, / newly awakened like a spark in fire. / The moth of humanity has been burned out of us" — Shaul Tchernichovsky / and this is in Israel when war breaks out)

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: חִידֵּשׁ אֶת כּוֹחוֹ. חָזַר לַעֲשׂוֹת דְּבָרִים שֶׁעָשָׂה בֶּעָבָר. חָזַר לְצוּרַת חַיָּיו הַקּוֹדֶמֶת וְהַטּוֹבָה.

("הַמַּשְׂבִּיעַ בַּטּוֹב עֶדְיֵךְ תִּתְחַדֵּשׁ כַּנֶּשֶׁר נְעוּרָיְכִי"- תְּהִלִּים קג ה, וְכֵן:"וְיֵשׁ וְהַנִּגּוּן הַמֵּת יָקוּם לִתְחִיָּה...חָזַר הַנִּגּוּן וְנֹעַר וְעָלָה פִּתְאוֹם עַל לֵב, וְרֶגֶשׁ חָדָשׁ- נְשָׁמָה חֲדָשָׁה נָפַח בּוֹ הַמְּנַגֵּן, וִיחַדֵּשׁ אֶת נְעוּרָיו!"- י.ל פֶּרֶץ/ גִּלְגּוּלוֹ שֶׁל נִגּוּן, וְכֵן:"נוֹרָא, טָהַרְנוּ בְּדָם, בִּמְאֵרָה,/ חָדָשׁ נָעֹרְנוּ כְּזִיז בִּבְעֵרָה./ בָּעַר מִתּוֹכֵנוּ אֶת עָשׁ הָאָדָם"- שָׁאוּל טְשֶׁרְנִיחוֹבְסְקִי/ וְזֹאת בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי תִּפְרֹץ מִלְחָמָה)
