To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Alas, poor dial ! thou wert a pattern and a rule but for .a short time and season ! CHAPTER XI SUN-DIAL MOTTOES *' A Sun-dial motto should be as short as the Posy on a Ring ; as Clear as the Sun that shines on the Dial's Face ; and as True as Christian Ethics." NE thought cannot fail to come to all who read any consid- erable number of sun-dial mottoes, — a sense of their inherent refinement and grace. They cannot be coarse, nor clumsy, nor scarcely ungra- cious. Of course they vary in happines...s of conception, but all seem refined. I suppose no one would in- scribe a motto on a sun-dial until he or she had given ample thought to the wording, and had indeed meditated deeply in order to seize or shape some poetic thought to be a fitting voice for the serious and dignified dial. I shall not attempt to give a full list of dial mot- toes. The curious reader can find them in many languages to the number of sixteen hundred in Mrs. Gatty's Book of Sun-dials. Baron Edmund de Riviere published another long list.
