  • "A sundial is a living object. It needs no winding and no weight. It has something to say and says it. It speaks about time never ceasing to recall the flight of time, its tragedy and irreversibility for men. The thoughts arise of Earth, of the end of everything, of eternity, of the word beyond." by Ren? R. J. Rohr

    On the gnomon: "As the sun sets over our fallen companions, may they always be remembered"
