Scholar's Clock

A small desktop clock, whose former owner was a scholar sat in a windowless room buried in books. This was probably the only reference they had to the time of day.

A delicate clock placed carefully on the scholar's desk.
Spending days and nights in her study, the scholar lost all sense of time.
This exquisite clock served as a beacon guiding the scholar in her relentless pursuit of knowledge.
The time the scholar spent would prove to be fruitful. Knowledge would find its way to her.
