Famous quotes containing the words dial and/or face:
“A man is reputed to have thought and eloquence; he cannot, for all that, say a word to his cousin or his uncle. They accuse his silence with as much reason as they would blame the insignificance of a dial in the shade. In the sun it will mark the hour. Among those who enjoy his thought, he will regain his tongue.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In the long, sleepless watches of the night,
A gentle face—the face of one long dead—
Looks at me from the wall,”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
