. Sonnenuhren und Rosen von gestern; Gartenfreuden, die hier in jeder Wahrheit dargestellt sind und darüber hinaus als Embleme angesehen werden. Azteken-Sonnendialwäre auffallend ornamental. Und jedes Objekt, das eine Geschichte hat, gerade darin ist befriedigend. Das bekannteste Symbol der Welt, das größte bekannte Symbol, und ich denke, das faszinierendste Symbol ist das Hakenkreuz. Erweitert und vielfältig ist seine Bibliographie. Die genaueste AC-Zählung davon ist die Monographie von mehreren Hundertblättern vorbereitet und gedruckt für das National Museum in Washington. Davon muss ich sagen, dass es von einem begeisterten Mann von sie

. Sun dials and roses of yesterday; garden delights which are here displayed in every truth and are moreover regarded as emblems . Aztec sun-dialwould be strikingly ornamental.

Of this I must tell that it was sentme by an enthusiastic man of science, who wrote, I believe we have here every existing exponent ofthe swastika in the known world. I had thepleasure of sending to him, in a few hours after thereceipt of his letter, a domestic swastika which wasnot included in the book : a square of an old patch-work quilt; an everyday design found in old farm- Symbolic Designs for Sun-dials 193 houses in New England, where it is named, in atriumph of irrelevance, Bonapartes Walk. Great speculation has been made over the rela-tion between the swastika and the sun, because the. .Aztec Calendar-stone. two signs have been associated by primitive peoples.The sun-symbols of the bronze age were theswastika, the ring-cross, the wheel-cross, indicat-ing the sun-car ; the triskele or three-armed cross ;the S-shape or sun-snake ; in Egypt, the sun-ship. 194 Sun-dials and Roses of Yesterday In the Kensington Museum is a large bronze trum-pet found in a bog in Wismar, Germany, near theBaltic Sea. It may have been used in sun-worship, for it is covered with borders and ornaments com-posed of these sun-symbols.
