    Sundials-Latin to French 

    Sundials and quotations about time 

    For Doug and those others who were interested in quotations about
    time: 

    Here is the site where I found the Latin quotations translated into
    French: 

    http://www.locutio.com/expressions-cadrans/indexcadrans.htm 

    I found it through a link from a sundial society. They are sorted
    into categories, which is very convenient (although it's impossible
    not to read all of them). 

    If anyone wants to put some of these into English, let me know! The
    theme for my waterclock piece is, specifically, "lost time", or; no
    time, irretrievable time, etc. I can approximately grasp the meaning
    in French, but any subtleties are beyond me. I don't want to use a
    phrase with some connotation I do not recognize, only to have people
    snickering later. 

    Thanks to those who translated the ones I listed, as well as to
    those who have suggested translation sites: so far the ones I've
    tried work only on individual words, not sentences. Stringing
    together the translated words one by one loses sense. 

Thanks....
