- Inscription:
- Inscribed on a plate at the base of the stone column, "The shadow by my finger cast, Divides the future from the past, Behind its unreturning line, The vanished hour, no longer thine. Before it lies the unknown hour, In darkness and beyond thy power. One hour alone is in thine hands: The now on which the shadow stands.
