What is William Hazlitt essay on a sundial summary?

William Hazlitt's essay "On a Sundial" reflects on the passage of time and the nature of human existence. Using the sundial as a metaphor, he contemplates how time is measured yet often overlooked in its significance. Hazlitt emphasizes the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the moment, suggesting that while time is constant, our awareness of it can shape our experiences.
