РСП (66 кн.) +2 Все вещи — в труде: не может человек пересказать всего; не насытится око зрением, не наполнится ухо слушанием.

НРП +3 Все эти вещи утомляют: человек не может всё пересказать, глаз не насытится тем, что видит, ухо не наполнится тем, что слышит.

Заокская (Кулаков) Не подобрать нужного слова, да ведь и не скажешь всего словами; не насытится око увиденным, не наполнится ухо услышанным.

СП (БЛ) Всё настолько утомительно, что трудно даже это описать словами, но люди по-прежнему продолжают говорить. Слова вновь достигают наш слух, но не насыщают его, как и глаза не насыщаются тем, что видят.
