Heisig story:

"Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset..." goes the song of the Fiddler on the Roof. You can almost see the journey of the sun as it moves from one horizon (the floor) to its noonday heights in the sky overhead (ceiling) and then disappears over the other horizon - day after day, marking the span of our lives.
