To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Having procured my dial, I wrote to Whittier my wishes, frankly stating that I knew that true poetry THE WHITTIER SUN-DIAL 245 came only from inspiration ; that I wanted him to come and see our pleasant home ; and for fear he would not, I had to describe its beauties and its be nign influence upon us. I spoke of the matter above alluded to, and said if his Muse ever led him to a thought upon the theme suggested, I wished he would let me have it. I waited patiently for months, only occasionally ...suggesting that I had not forgotten my original wish. One day I received the following, which is the in scription on the plate placed this day in front of the halls of Naushon : " With warning hand I mark Time's rapid flight From life's glad morning to its solemn night ; Yet, through the dear God's love I also show There 's light above me by the shade below. " The lines seem to me, if possible, superior to the old Venetian motto. This latter, though suggestive of serenity of soul and bright hours, is perhaps re markably suggestive of a stoical indifference to all others.
