In Gbaya, the notion looking at something intensely, longingly, or pensively is emphasized in the referenced verses with the ideophone féé. (Note that in Wisdom 13:5, the «seeing» is made explicit for the phrase «beauty of created things» and in Wisdom 13:7, the ideophone is used to emphasize «keep searching.»)

Ideophones are a class of sound symbolic words expressing human sensation that are used as literary devices in many African languages. (Source: Philip Noss)
