Dy All We Must

says the dial on the Church of All Saints, Winkleigh, Devon.

I Am A Shadow, So Art Thou

I Mark Time, Dost Thou?

is inscribed on an old horologium in the Grey Friars’ churchyard, Sterling.

Sweetly fragrant are the lines incised on the four sides of a stone dial in a flower-garden at South Windleham:

I Stand Amid Ye Summere Flowers

To Tell Ye Passage Of Ye Houres.

When Winter Steals Ye Flowers Awaye

I Tell Ye Passinge Of Their Daye.
