The hour of justice does not strike
On the dials of this world.

Aux cadrans de ce monde.]
- Maurice Maeterlinck, Measure of the Hours,

Wound up at first, and ever since have gone.

Flowers die.
New days,

Love stays.

I mark my hours by shadow;
Mayest thou mark thine
By sunshine.

Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is not.

"Horas non numero nisi serenas."
There stands in the garden of old St. Mark
A sun dial quaint and gray.
It takes no heed of the hours which in dark
Pass o'er it day by day.
It has stood for ages amid the flowers
In that land of sky and song.
"I number none but the cloudless hours,"
Its motto the live day long.
