This image is about the mystery of time. The lovers shown in negative form are Time Lords responsible for the smooth passage of time and the key to eternity. He wears a blindfold to avoid distraction and to concentrate his thoughts on his important task. According to the language of flowers the White Poplar is said to represent time and the maiden wears a crown of its timeless leaves with their brilliant silver undersides. The water carrier represents the new age - Age of Aquarius - and the past by the ancient stone circle within the everlasting clock. The girl sitting beside the clock carries a needle, perhaps to put a stitch in time. The wise old owl looks on as the dandelion clocks shed their seeds, continuing the everlasting circle of life. This is only one interpretation.
