Better is the seeing of the eyes than the wandering of the desire; this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

English · The Rashi Ketuvim by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein
[It would have been] better [(for this wealthy man to behold his wealth and enjoy it)] with the vision of his eyes than [to enjoy food and drink], which courses through the body. This, too, is a vanity and a breaking of the spirit [accorded the wicked].

Better the eyes should see than the soul should just go. This too is a vanishing mist and misleading perception.

Mieux vaut se satisfaire par les yeux que de laisser dépérir sa personne; cela aussi est vanité et pâture de vent.

Commentaires sur Ecclésiaste 6:9
Rashi
English
Better is what the eyes actually see than the imagination of the soul. It would have been better and more proper for this one to gaze upon his wealth [to enjoy] what his eyes see, than [by investing his wealth] in food and drink that nourish the soul.
Another explanation: Better is what the eyes actually see than the imagination of the soul. It would have better and more proper for this one to follow his eyes, to rob and to oppress, rather than [being mindful of] the course of his soul, that he did not care where his soul will go when he dies.
This too is vanity. It is what is given to the wicked.

טוב. אמר מה לחכם שתהלוך נפשו בדרך הכסילים שנפשם לא תמלא די לו הנמצא הנראה לעין אע״פ שהנראה ואשר יעלה במחשבת הנפש הבל פירוש אחר שיהיה טוב מראה עינים דברי החיים כענין ומה כשרון לבעליה כי אם ראות עיניו:
