astronomy clock
rare white marble and biscuit porcelain
impossible to stop once it has been wound
its stepped semi-elliptical path
ordained by god a plinth
supporting a central fluted pedestal
mounted with a circular enamel dial
emblazoned with roman numerals
within a beaded bezel
flanked on the left by large winged genius
beside an extremely ornate ormolu
mounted stylised tree trunk holding
two small books and a scroll reading
design'd and executed by the great
white one with urania seated on the right
bearing an armillary sphere
wishing for an end to the tedium
