There is no cure for the loss of loved ones except reunion;
no eye-salve can brighten old Jacob's eyes, only the sight of you can.
Explanation: The 'old man of Canaan' is the prophet Jacob, who lost his sight grieving for Joseph and regained it only when reunited with him. 'Toutia' is a traditional eye remedy.
