Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or dial:
“For poetry, he’s past his prime,
He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
His fire is out, his wit decayed,
His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
I’d have him throw away his pen,
But there’s no talking to some men.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“The bawdy hand of the dial is now upon the prick of noon.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
