I have it on good authority that Merleau-Ponty attributes the origin of the
above commonplace to the Phoenicians.  Unfortunately, I've been unable to
find the attribution in his works.

A question for all commonplace experts: what is the earliest occurrence of
this locution known to you? has it found significant representation in the
arts? in which languages and cultures does it occur? is there a religious
significance to it? has it been discussed in scholarly literature?
