> This is a possible translation: > <Like life no day without a line> > ( with the double meaning of wrinkle on our face and line on the dial ) > Notice that DIES in latin is feminine, and NVLLA is related to DIES , not to > LINEA .... > These words were assigned by Plinius the Older in his book ``Historia naturalis'' to Apelles of Colophone, the town in Asia Minor. Apelles was a painter and these words treated as a rule for himself. Best regards Krzysztof Kotynia
