This do I speak unto you in parable. Yesterday at the stillest hour did the ground give way under me: the dream began. The hour-hand moved on, the timepiece of my life drew breath never did I hear such stillness around me, so that my heart was terrified. Then was there spoken unto me without voice: "THOU KNOWEST IT, ZARATHUSTRA?"
I've looked at it without flinchin' for good ten minutes, and not the smallest sign of motion can I detect." "So might you say of the hour-hand of a watch," observed Lawrence. "Not at all," retorted the Captain, becoming argumentative.
After the salient features of a landscape have been analyzed and recorded in color, the more subtle qualities are to be detected and expressed. The most important of these is the time of day. To an outdoor painter an expert examining the work of another expert the hour-hand is written over every square inch of the canvas.
So one may strain his eyes with intent eagerness until he can catch the hour-hand of a watch in action. With tobacco in his pocket Jimmy could refill his pipe without moving, but sometimes he crawled along the hearth-rug to let the fire-light play more exquisitely on his meerschaum bowl.
Three months later Willoughby was dining with a friend, and the hour-hand of the clock nearing ten, the host no longer resisted the guest's growing anxiety to be gone.

Everything prospered, except my own present happiness, and the possibility of any happiness for some years to come.
The attitude of the Governors in their conferences is one of concentration on State and Interstate problems which are outside of the domain and Constitutional rights of the Federal Government to solve. There can be no interference when each confines itself to its own duties. In keeping the time of the nation the Federal Government represents the hour-hand, the States, united, the minute-hand.
Should he remark that the weather was very cold for the time of year? He looked up as if to take aim with that introductory shot. "The weather " he began. "Why don't you finish and go?" said the rigid figure, evidently in a state of painfully suppressed rage. "All you've got to do is to fix the hour-hand on its axle. You're simply humbugging " "Certainly, sir one minute more.
Sometimes they would appear as an illuminated arch, with the shadow of Saturn passing over it like the hour-hand over a dial; at other times they would be like a semi-aureole of light. Very often, too, for periods of several years, daily eclipses of the sun must occur through the interposition of this triple ring.
