The Sun-Dial at Wells College in NY state
The shadow by my finger cast
Divides the future from the past
Before it, sleeps the unborn hour,
In darkness, and beyond thy power
Behind its unreturning line,
The vanished hour, no longer thine
One hour alone is in thy hands,
The now on which the shadow stands.
~ Henry Van Dyke 1911
Check out my active GPS! I found the actual sundial this poem was engraved. Photos coming shortly...

Good evening That was a nice Sunday afternoon trip out for you and pleased you found the sundial with the lovely inscription. Hope the weather doesn't get too cold.
