Text Appearing After Image:
John S. Bailey, Dial-maker, in his Workshop. CHAPTER VII THE SUN-DIAL AS AN EMBLEM ** An Emblem is but a silent Parable. Before the knowledge ofletters, God was known by hieroglyphics. And what indeed arethe Heavens, the Earth, nay every creature, but Hieroglyphics andEmblems of His Glory? I have no more to say : I wish theeas much pleasure in the reading as I had in the writing. Farewell !Reader! — Emblems Divine and Moral (^The Preface), Francis Quarles, 1634. ** How the face of common dayIs written all over with tender histories.When you study it that intenser way.Till now you dreamed not what could be doneWith a bit of rock, and a ray of sun. —James Russell Lowell. EARLY all original forms ofsun-dials were good, becausesimple and conventional,and certain decorative ideaswhich appeared after a timewere also good; but sun-dials in general, as made to-day, have scant originality.This is surprising when wenote the originality of de-sign displayed of late in architectural decoratio
