Over the 30 years it has been

has raised almost $3 million
to support Trinity’s library

annual Book Sale in October.
“It’s a good deal!”
A few rows over, Stephanie
Duncan, surveying the shelves
and tables lining Seeley Hall,
said that although she wasn’t
looking for anything specific,
she always enjoys coming to
the sale, which celebrated its
30th anniversary this year.
She was first introduced to the
sale by a former Trinity student in 1975, the first year it
opened, and has been back
many times since.
A lure for both bargainhunters and book-collectors,
the sale, organized by The
Friends of the Library, appeals
equally to power-searchers like
Zhang, who headed straight
for the anthropology section,
and browsers like Duncan,
who are happy just to wander
the aisles to see what books
catch their eye.
The volunteer-run sale
drew large crowds as usual this
year – about 4,000 attended
– and revenues close to
$125,000. Total revenues
from the sale over the 30 years
it has been in operation are
now approaching $3 million.
Proceeds go to support the
Trinity College Library.
Volunteer effort is essential
to the now year-round operation, with Friends of the
Library volunteers meeting
every week to collect, organize, classify, sort and price the
mountains of books (2,500
boxes this year) that go on sale
for just five days in October.
It’s a massive undertaking,
says Joyce Sowby (5T0), the
sale’s head of pricing, who
notes that although volunteers
work all year, “there’s always
more to be done, and more
volunteers needed.”
Anyone interested in working on the sale should contact

spring. They depict imagery
that the faculty and the college
have been using since the late
19th century.
The shield features four
stags on red and black backgrounds, separated by a white
cross. An open book in the
centre reads “but if the salt,”
a reference to Matthew 5:13,
which begins with the call
adopted by Trinity students,
“We are the salt of the earth.”
The verse continues, “But if
the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted?”
Dean of Divinity David
Neelands says that formalizing
the arms is another example of
“faculty renewal” for the
Divinity program, which is
growing its enrolment and also
building its endowment (see
page 41 for an update on the
Faith in Divinity campaign).
The dean has had previous
experience registering arms,
which is done through the
Canadian Heraldic Authority:
“I had already done it for the
Toronto School of Theology,”
Neelands says, adding that
the process of registering the
arms is actually quite simple.
“Anyone can have them,
just by asking for them.”

says Pauly, who spent his time
delivering lectures, talking to

Vintage Aristotle?
“T
his is probably the most important discovery I can ever hope to make,” says Trinity fellow
and philosophy professor Douglas Hutchinson. He’s not exaggerating: Hutchinson and his
colleague, Monte Ransome Johnson, have authenticated quotations by Aristotle in the long-lost
work, Protrepticus. • The breakthrough could have an enormous impact not only on teaching, but
also on the development of new scholarly insights into Artistotle’s philosphy:“It’s the most teachable and accessible Aristotle work there is,” says Hutchinson, for whom it all started when discussing
Protrepticus, by another ancient philosopher, Iamblicus, in a Greek philosophy
reading group. But while this book has the same title as the one by Aristotle
and “feels like Aristotle, smells like Aristotle, tastes like Aristotle,” says
Hutchinson, something didn’t seem quite right. By analyzing sentence
structure and other factors in the text, Hutchinson and Johnson determined that Iamblicus had bracketed huge sections of Aristotle’s text
with his own introductory and concluding sentences.“Each chapter
is like a box of chocolates,” Hutchinson says.“The thin paper holding the chocolates was Iamblicus, the chocolate was Aristotle.”

to push me in this direction,”
says Trinity student Michael
Forrester (0T7). Forrester’s
sister, Liane, died at the age
of 14 of a rare form of nonHodgkins lymphoma in February 2003; this summer, Forrester worked on cutting-edge
cancer research with U of T
scientists at the Hospital for
Sick Children.
Forrester, who studies molecular genetics and microbiology, is “very interested in the
basic working of the human
cell. Genetics has always excited
me,” he says. So when the
chance came to be a part of the
Sick Kids’ Research Summer
Program, which pairs about
100 undergraduate students
with high-level medical
researchers, he leapt right in.
“I was mostly learning
some basic lab skills,” he says
of the work he was doing on
a form of cancer cell called
rhabdomyosarcoma, “but
we actually saw some interesting results.”
He intends to continue
his career in medicine, with
a focus on cancer research
and treatment. “I’m taking
genetics in the hope that
we can better understand
the progress of cancer,”
Forrester says, “and
in the hope that I
can contribute to
the field in some
small way.”

Morgan. “The head of the

• Hutchinson and Johnson are talking to publishers about two
books: a detailed study with commentary for the use of scholars, and a slim volume that will bring Aristotle’s latest and
greatest work to students and the general public.
“Most Aristotle was meant to be referred to,”
Hutchinson says,“but this was meant to be read.”

potential and be able to give back in this world,
which is really what I want for my life”
}
Sadia Rafiquddin
Like many young social activists, Sadia
Rafiquddin can’t stand to see injustice in the
world. While her peers may be driven by
youthful idealism, though, Rafiquddin’s
passion for human rights is fuelled by firsthand experience of persecution and discrimination in her native country.
Born in Pakistan, she came to Canada
with her parents when she was five to escape
maltreatment suffered by their particular
religious sect, the Ahmadis. “My parents
were two people who had their homes and
livelihoods taken away, but there are millions of others in countries across the globe
who are abused and tortured every day for
who they are and what they believe in,” says
Rafiquddin. “There need to be voices that
say ‘This is wrong, and we are going to do
something about it.’”
Rafiquddin’s mother was a teacher, and
her father owned an export business in Pakistan, yet they gave up everything, including
their careers, when they left. Growing up
with little money, Rafiquddin says she
learned to value education above everything
else and resolved to work hard so that she
could at least partially fund her university
tuition through scholarships.
She has been juggling part-time work
with volunteer commitments at human
rights organizations since early high school.
In her first year at Trinity, she had a job in
addition to helping her mother manage her
at-home daycare. While she had won several
scholarships in high school, she says nothing
compared with the joy and relief of winning
a Heaslip scholarship. With the job no
longer necessary, Rafiquddin – who is now
in the joint specialist program in International Relations and Peace and Conflict
Studies – has filled her schedule with activities geared to her career ambition of working in international development. Among
her many roles, she is secretary of the University of Toronto chapter of Amnesty International, co-president of the International
Relations Society and on the executive of the
Association of Political Science Students.
Rafiquddin has applied to travel to
Botswana next summer with World University Service of Canada to conduct research
on HIV/AIDS. Africa is just one of the
places where she wants to make a difference
in the future. She also plans to return to Pakistan one day as a teacher and role model for
young girls. “I’ll remember Mr. Heaslip
years and years from now for providing me
with the means to meet my potential and be

Helena Dhamko
One of the first things Helena Dhamko
noticed when she arrived at Trinity last year
was how her fellow students struck a balance
between academic and extracurricular activities. “I was so impressed that people were
able to do everything, from volunteering and
being in clubs to getting high marks,” she
says. “That’s what I wanted for myself for
the next four years.”
In first year, however, financial concerns
made that balance seem unattainable.
Dhamko expected to have to work to support her studies at Trinity. Her father died
suddenly from a rare heart condition shortly
before she, her mother and younger brother
left Albania over five years ago to seek better
educational opportunities in Canada. Her
mother, who was an accountant in Albania,
has struggled to find secure employment.
Dhamko found work as a private tutor for
high-school students and, like many other
life sciences students with their sights set on
medical school, took a hospital volunteer job.
With her heavy course load and a Sunday
School teaching position, there was little time
to even think about student clubs or activities. Also, she says,“I wanted to fulfill as best
I could all the responsibilities I undertook.”
Winning a Heaslip scholarship changed
everything. This fall, without the burden of a

and help future students.”
Heaslip will provide $10,000 for
part-time job, she was happily weighing her
many options for getting involved in college
life. “I’m thinking about joining the archery
club as a way to let out some stress,” she said,
“and I’m going to apply as a volunteer mentor to inner-city children.”
She has also added a second hospital volunteer position to her schedule, an important step on the way to reaching her career
goal. In addition, she is treasurer of a student group focused on ecological and biomedical issues, and a member of the highschool outreach section of the Stethoscope,
a student-run organization for young people interested in health-care professions.
She says she may have “subconsciously”
chosen medicine because of her father’s premature death, but adds that she also wants
to use her aptitude for math and science in
a helping profession. “I like dealing with
people on an individual level, creating oneon-one connections.”
The best part of the Heaslip award,
Dhamko says, is the gift of time. “Without
it, I would have had to choose most of my
activities during the next three years based on
their monetary reward rather than the actual
experience. This gives me time to focus on
my long-term goals, rather than just providing for my short-term needs.” ■

cells respond to molecular signals and become T cells.
Zúñiga-Pflücker, who came to U of T in 1994, was
born in Peru and grew up “surrounded by oil people,”
as he puts it, and engineers. His grandfather was an engineer, as was his father, then a general manager at Esso.
A brother and a brother-in-law are also engineers. Odds
were that he would become one, too. “As a kid, I always
liked taking things apart,” he says. (What kind of things?
“Oh, anything,” he laughs. “Your

– specifically animals, not plants,
which held no interest for him.

his family to Washington, where his
father began work with the World

thought of Trinity College as a bastion
of science research. Trinity’s reputation
was built in its early years on such pillars as its classics, English, and divinity
scholars, and more recently on its highly respected
International Relations and Ethics, Society and Law
programs. But the scientific cachet attached to Trinity’s
name has been growing steadily for nearly two decades,
thanks to the Immunology Specialist Program (ISP),
offered through Trinity with the collaboration of the University of
Toronto’s Department of Immunology. And that cachet is due in no
small measure to the work of Trinity

who this year was awarded a Canada
Research Chair in developmental
immunology.
Although he just turned 40 this
year, Zúñiga-Pflücker has already
had one career dream come true. In
What they grew in a Petri dish, to their delight
and surprise, turned out to look and act
like mature, functional T cells
2002 in his lab at Sunnybrook and Women’s Research
Institute in Toronto, where he’s a senior scientist, he
and his then-grad student, Thomas Schmitt, succeeded in creating T cells for the first time. Essential
for our immune systems, T cells are initially created
in our bone marrow, then developed in our thymus –
a small organ about the size of a fist located above the
heart. In a Petri dish, Zúñiga-Pflücker and Schmitt
combined stem cells from bone marrow, delta-like
molecules from the thymus gland, and stromal cells.
What they grew, to their delight and surprise, turned
out to look and act like mature, functional T cells.
Their breakthrough could have huge implications
for the treatment of diseases such as cancer and AIDS,
which destroy the body’s immune system and its ability to make T cells. That’s one of the reasons their
research is supported by such prestigious funders as
the National Cancer Institute of Canada, the Ontario
HIV Treatment Network and the Canadian Institutes
of Health Research. Zúñiga-Pflücker’s and Schmitt’s
critical T-cell discovery will aid scientists everywhere
who are exploring how to rebuild weakened immune

1991 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He did a post-doc fellowship at the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
in Bethesda, Maryland, studying how genes regulate
the early development of cells in the thymus.
In 1994, he came to U of T as an assistant professor in the immunology program, becoming course coordinator of the graduate-level immunology course
the following year and of the undergrad course in
1998. He has spoken at such prestigious places as the
Harvard School of Medicine in Boston, Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore, the
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New
York, and farther afield, in Switzerland, Scotland, Australia, Austria, Italy and Japan. Now that he holds a
Canada Research Chair, the funding for his research
is guaranteed for the next seven years.
Zúñiga-Pflücker is a man on the move – literally –
bicycling in good weather between his home in
Toronto’s Christie Pits area, the university’s St. George
campus, and his research lab at Sunnybrook Hospital.
On Mondays you’ll usually find him at U of T, where

and genetics understanding of the immune system
he might be preparing for the weekly departmental
seminars held every Monday at 5 p.m. that bring
immunologists from all over North America to talk to
students about their research. “These are fairly
advanced talks,” he says; they’re attended by immunologists and staff from the university’s Med Sciences
building, Princess Margaret Hospital, Mount Sinai
Hospital, the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto
General, Toronto Western, and Sunnybrook and
Women’s College Hospital. The rest of the week, he is
usually found at Sunnybrook, where he spends about
80 per cent of his time.
The desk of Zúñiga-Pflücker’s Sunnybrook office
holds an eye-stopping pile of research journals stacked
more than four feet high. They’re issues of the twicemonthly Journal of Immunology, for which he’s a section editor. Although the journal is available online
now, he prefers to read hard copy. As an editor, he does
a lot of reading, reviewing, and editing of articles for
publication. Not to mention writing: his list of published articles goes on for six pages. Photos of his two
children as toddlers – his son is now 12, his daughter,
eight – adorn the bookshelves. An office golf game
designed for practice putting sits in a corner. “A gift
from my kids,” he says with a laugh, acknowledging
that he doesn’t get out on the course very often,
“maybe four to six times a year.”
In the lab at Sunnybrook, soaring opera music
imposes its own grandeur, while grad students impose
their own influence on the lab counters. In a sunny,
south-facing room at the end of the lab, students writing
up their results on computers have a view of the lush,
green, forested valley that edges Sunnybrook. The nearby
Centre for Cytometry and Scanning Microscopy provides an essential service to Zúñiga-Pflücker and his students. Tucked into a tiny office space, this is the home of
several large cell-sorting machines, each about the size of
a washing machine and costing anywhere from $150,000
to $400,000. Some cell sorters use fluorescent dyes to sort
cells; others use magnets powerful enough to stop a
watch. But whatever the process, says the manager, Gisele
Knowles, the result is similar. You might start with
between 100 million and 400 million cells, and after her
centre has done its job, you’ve got anywhere from 1,000

Another dream is to create an artificial
thymus so that humans with compromised immune
systems can grow precious T cells
to 100,000 very precious selected cells – they might be
stem cells from a bone marrow sample, thymus cells from
a mouse, or stem blood cells from the umbilical cords of
newborns – with which to begin your experiment.
Once cells are sorted, Ross La Motte-Mohs, one of
Zúñiga-Pflücker’s post-doctoral fellows, analyzes them
using a machine with a laser that excites the fluorescent
dye, causing a particular colour or wavelength of light
to be emitted. The light is then digitally processed to
record a signal. The signal allows the researchers to see
how the molecules within the cell are behaving.
“The system we use is called a co-culture system,”
La Motte-Mohs explains. “Simply put, we take stem
cells ... from umbilical-cord blood and grow them for
a time on bone marrow stromal cells that have been
modified to support the emergence of the T cell. Since
T cells play a major role in fighting infection and
keeping us healthy, people with weakened immune
systems, such as HIV or cancer patients, may benefit
from a system that can generate T cells in vitro (in the
test tube), with the hope of eventually putting these
T cells back into patients. This machine helps us to
see if these test-tube T cells behave like real T cells
from healthy humans.”
So what does Zúñiga-Pflücker dream about now?
Well, designing T cells that will fight certain diseases.
Another far-off dream is to create an artificial or plastic thymus in order to enable humans whose immune
system is compromised to manufacture those precious
T cells. That’s a step he estimates is probably about
five or 10 years away, but the possibility is there. His
goals might seem pie-in-the-sky now, but, as with that
lofty stack of journals on his desk, there’s little doubt
he’ll keep on aiming high. ■

LIKE A SYMPHONY WARMING UP
FOR A CONCERT, THEY TALK TO EACH OTHER,

TUNING UP THEIR ARGUMENTS FOR THE

for discussions or special guest lectures. As student Jagtaran Singh
says, “It’s a day-long schmoozefest. It makes you feel really special
and excited about university.”
Although creating more first-year small seminars is part of
U of T’s Stepping Up planning goal for the entire university,
Trinity has embraced the mission with particular zeal. Trinity’s
top academics, including Provost Margaret MacMillan and preeminent Canadian historian Robert Bothwell, lead the classes.
U of T’s Faculty of Arts and Science provided seed money for the
first three years of the program, but Trinity has launched a campaign to raise some $3 million to endow it permanently, seeing it
as essential to the college’s mission to enhance collegial life. “Our
International Relations program has a particular esprit de corps,”
says MacMillan. We thought Trin One would do that for other students. We hope they get some sense of what the big issues are in the
world and we give them some background to deal with that, but
we also want them to develop a whole bunch of friends.”
That’s clearly working, according to Singh: “I applied on the
basis of [Trinity’s] sheer persistence. They sent out so many notices
I finally said, okay. And I’m so happy, because my friends who came
here before said it was so lonely. But this is amazing.” And also a
serious academic challenge, according to Vanmala Subramaniam:
“They expect a lot because they chose you. You have to rise to the
occasion. And there are so many different perspectives debated
in class, you really have to go deep inside your own head to figure
out what you think.”
Back in Kingwell’s ethics class, Kerri Wazny describes the seminar as two hours of “pure cerebral” focus. Students eagerly discuss
the rise of consumer culture (are we players in the American dream
or is it playing us?), stoicism (is it self-denial or moderation?), the
peculiar tragedy of the modern hero (who thinks she can have it
all, but choosing means giving something up) and Lacan’s notion
of desire (we’re happiest when we’re daydreaming about being
happy). This is Kingwell’s romantic notion of the university in its
glory – “a conversation about the deepest questions of human existence, pursued with as much sophistication as one can muster.”
And Kingwell is so right – I can’t get enough of this. Next week,
I drop into the National versus International course in the IR stream,
where not one but three professors preside. Arne Kislenko, who last
month won TVOntario’s inaugural Best Lecturer competition,
shares teaching duties with MacMillan and Bothwell, but all
three attend most classes. Bothwell calls it the “highlight of my
week…unrestrained, argumentative joy.”
While discussing empire-building in Africa in the late 19th
century, students debate the modern impact of colonialism on
such places as Somalia, Darfur and Rwanda. Kislenko, a selfdescribed “pot stirrer,” brings the conversation closer to home, asking students how the invasion of Iraq by the United States may
exemplify empire-building in our times. And whether Canada
is being hypocritical, enjoying the benefits of empire-building
while playing moral objector. At this, even the shyest students leap
into the discussion. For Laura Jepson, it’s an opportunity to “formulate my own ideas and arguments,” but in an environment
where “your opinions matter” and professors consider and challenge those positions. “You get three specialists with three
different opinions,” says Miranda Lin. “I’ve changed my mind
so many times.”
Bothwell laps up the debate. Then again, the Director of the
International Relations Programme (offered conjointly by U of T
and Trinity), has an ulterior motive for being here. “My self-interest is in spotting good students, ones who are likely to get firsts,
and getting them into upper-year International Relations programs.” Two of his former protégées went on to become Rhodes
Scholars. The attention these first-year students get from senior
profs is as good as at any university anywhere, says Bothwell.
It’s just a month into Trin One, but the students are keenly
aware they’re taking part in something very special. “It’s amazing
to have these professors who are really well known talking to us,”
says Phoebe Ramsay, an IR student. “The discussions are really
stimulating. It’s intense.”
And the level of discussion, says Ethics student Alison Chapman, will help students make decisions for upper-year study. “In
first year, it’s important to go through a process of self-understanding. Other courses may give you a superficial understanding.
But the level of discussion [in Trin One] is so high, you begin to
discover through that what you’re deeply interested in.” ■

hapels, by their very nature, are intimate spaces.
Even the most glorious of them, soaring skyward
as their pipe organs thunder below, are able to
capture and convey a sense of sacred intimacy in
a way that few other places can. Trinity College
Chapel has been capturing this feeling in various ways for the
past 50 years, and on November 20th, that half-century was
celebrated in a glorious festal evensong held within the chapel’s
sturdy stone walls.
Trinity Chapel’s sandstone exterior, with its Gothic adornments, parapets and turret, forms the southwestern face of the
college and anchors it to Hoskin Avenue, which runs through
the heart of U of T’s St. George campus. But the timeless look
fostered by the chapel’s Gothic style belies its actual age. For
30 years after Trinity College was moved north to Hoskin from
its original site on Queen Street West, there was a great absence
at the heart of the institution. Like a Canadian winter without
hockey, this Anglican college without a dedicated chapel was
missing something essential to its vitality – an absence that
endured for three decades, until November 20, 1955. On that
historic day, in front of Governor-General Vincent Massey,
Ontario Premier Leslie Frost, various Trinity and Anglican
worthies, and a CBC television audience, the new chapel was
consecrated, to the delight of the packed congregation of students, faculty and friends there to witness the event.

the New Bodleian Library at Oxford, to London’s rebuilt Guildhall and the House of Commons, both damaged in the Second
World War. He even designed the red telephone
box that became a ubiquitous feature of the
British streetscape after 1935. In the late 1940s,
under Provost Reginald Seeley, Trinity approached
Scott to design a new chapel. He accepted the
commission, worked on a design in conjunction
with the Toronto firm George & Moorhouse, and
studied the layout of the property on his first visit
to the site in November of 1950. Construction
began in the summer of 1953, and two years later, Trinity had its
own purpose-built chapel at last.
Scott’s Gothic-inspired design might never have come to pass,
however, without the seemingly inexhaustible generosity of Trinity’s greatest single benefactor, Gerald Larkin. President of the Salada Tea Company Ltd. from 1922 to 1957, Larkin gave gifts to the
college amounting to more than $2 million in his lifetime, and
upon his death in 1961, left Trinity a bequest of some $6 million,
which today remains the largest in the institution’s history. A key
part of his lifetime giving – “a characteristic act of munificence,”
as former Provost Derwyn Owen described it – were the funds provided for the chapel. Larkin’s far-sighted philanthropy, along with
that of other friends of the college such as H. Crawford Scadding,
whose estate provided the funds for the furnishings, meant that
Trinity was finally able to afford a chapel, one that was recognized
immediately as being among the finest examples of perpendicular
Gothic architecture in North America.
Scott’s achievement in Trinity Chapel is indeed a marvel of
design and materials. The interior combines free support arches
and vaulting, with stunning grisailles windows in the apse and a
Roman travertine floor. Marble quarried in Indiana together with
limestone from the Credit Valley dominate the
interior of the chapel. The pews, which can hold
about 170 people, and the dons’ stalls, are of red
oak, and much of the stained glass, made in
Toronto in 1887 by the well-known firm of
Joseph McCausland & Co., was brought from the
Queen Street property and installed in the new
chapel. Natural light pours in through the windows, which run the length of the chapel and soar
to just beneath the almost 50-foot-high ceiling. The impressive
length of the nave accounts for the quick intake of breath that most

The first service in Trinity Chapel was not its consecration but the nuptials of Peter Alley (5T2) and Daphne Young. Their wedding took place
two months before the consecration, on September 17, 1955, a beautiful late-summer day when the temperature soared to 36oC and about 150 people
saw the interior of the chapel for the first time. Luckily, construction of the
chapel was completed just in time for the wedding, but, says Daphne Alley,
she was determined to “walk down the aisle, dust or no dust!”

After serving in the South Pacific
during the Second World War, the
Brooklyn-born Zitner earned a BA
at Brooklyn College, an MA. at
New York University, and a PhD
from Duke University.A poet as
well as a teacher, he had poems
published in journals such as The
Nation, Poetry, and Accent.
In 1969, Zitner moved to
Toronto with his wife, Dona
Waldhauer, and their daughter, Julia,
to join Trinity’s English department.
Over the years, his graduate
course on Shakespeare’s tragedies
acquired an almost mythic reputation. He was honoured by the
college in 2001, when he was
named Doctor of Sacred Letters.
Zitner produced definitive editions of Beaumont’s Knight of the
Burning Pestle and Shakespeare's
Much Ado About Nothing – as well
as textbooks, articles and reviews –
but after retiring he concentrated
on poetry, publishing three collections, The Asparagus Feast, Before
We Had Words, and Missing Persons.
Before his final illness he collaborated on a book of translations
from modern Chinese poetry,
not yet published.
After graduating from Trinity
College, Retter was ordained in
1965 and served at St. James’
Church for 27
years, the last 12 as
Rector. In 2002 he
became one of the
Diocese of New
Westminster’s five regional
Archdeacons.
Among the many mourners at
his funeral were members of the
Nisga’a and other First Nations
communities, with whom he had
worked in northwestern B.C. and
later in Vancouver. His retirement
dinner in July 2004 was in the form
of a First Nation’s feast featuring
drummers and dancers.

TRINITY Past
Tick Tock, Heed the Clock
Clocks have always been like family members. After all, they do have “faces” and “hands” and they “tell” us the time. In Strachan
Hall this grand timepiece stares down from the balcony atop the Minstrel’s Gallery. Those below are, for the most part, unaware
of the dour message attached:
“Quae lenta accedit, quam velox praeterit hora!
Ut capias, patiens esto, sed esto vigil!”
For those “Trins” not fluent in Latin, a translation:
“Slow comes the hour, its passing speed how great!
Waiting to seize it – vigilantly wait!”
It was written by poet William Cowper – not for our clock, but for one that British sculptor John Bacon was building for King
George IV in 1788. Alas, in Latin or in English, each new generation adheres to its own timetable, with or without Cowper’s –
or a clock’s – timely advice. – F. Michah Rynor
