Friends,   De translation of the Escher poem was done by Ruud Hooiienga, member of the board of De Zonnewijzerkring.   Ruud also translates the Dutch pages of our web site into English. You may recognize that by the note on each translated page: English translation: RH.   Best wishes, Fer.   Fer J. de Vries   De Zonnewijzerkring mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.de-zonnewijzerkring.nl   Home mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.iae.nl/users/ferdv/index-fer.htm Eindhoven, Netherlands lat.  51:30 N      long.  5:30 E ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Terwilliger To: 'Sundial Mailing List' Sent: Friday, April 29, 2005 10:49 PM Subject: M. C. Escher sundial drawing 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:   http://sundials.org/links/   ... while you're there take a look at "The sundial" at Wentworth castle. I've never seen one quite like this.   Bob
