Description

Excerpt from The Book of Old Sundials and Their Mottoes: With Eight Illustrations in Colour and Thirty-Six Drawings of Some Famous Sundials

Then what is Time? Nothing. Not even as much as smoke: less is it than the shadow of a shade! A certain succession of natural phen omena has been observed; man creates out of these an imaginary something, and names it Time! He afterwards embodies this fantastical creature and presents a bent, bald old man mov in g as with palsied step, yet wearing wings; he has one great forelock; he carries a scythe and a sand-glass.
