It is my feeling that Time ripens all things; with

Time all things are revealed; Time is the father of

truth.

Analemmatic sundials exploit the fact that the sun

travels in a predictable pattern over the course of

a year called the analemma and trace the

projection of an object's shadow to measure time,

not only the hours, as in normal sundials, but also

weeks and months.
