I came across a drawing of a sundial by M. C. Escher. It's rather tame compared to his better-known illustrations.
 
It includes an epigram in Dutch which has been nicely translated by Fer deVries and a colleague - as a poem. The illustration also includes text in Latin(?):
 
PATET QUAELIBET ULTIMA LATET.
 
Can any of our Latin scholars help?
 
Look under New Links:

... while you're there take a look at "The sundial" at Wentworth castle. I've never seen one quite like this.
