Charles Lamb
What a dead thing is a clock, with its ponderous embowelments of lead and brass, its pert or solemn dullness of communication, compared with the simple altar-like structure and silent heart-language of the old sundials It stood as the garden god of Christian gardens. Why is it almost everywhere vanished If its business-use be superseded by more elaborate inventions, its moral uses, its beauty, might have pleaded for its continuance. It spoke of moderate labours, of pleasures not protracted after sunset, of temperance, and good hours. It was the primitive clock, the horologue of the first world. Adam could scare have missed it in Paradise.
Charles Lamb

Charles Lamb
No eye to watch, and no tongue to wound us, All earth forgot, and all heaven around us.
