SAXON SUNDIAL BUILT IN OVER A NORMAN WINDOW.
The Saxons divided time into tides,
The Normans for hours found place;
But the English with minutes and seconds besides,
Added more lines than my dial divides,
And now fractions I’m likely to grace.
SUNDIAL, OPHIR FARM, WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK.
In Æsop’s great race, ’twixt the tortoise and hare,
