John,
You probably already know the following by Hillaire Belloc
"I am a sundial. Ordinary words
Cannot convey my thoughts on birds!"
"I am a sundial turned the wrong way round.
I cost my foolish mistress fifty pound"
and of course
"I am a sundial and I make a botch
Of what is done much better by a watch"
He must have had a bad experience with a sundial as a child?
