The moving finger writes and having writ moves on..
excerpt from The Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam

...following initial 'concept' discussions with Malcolm Weeks, (Assistant Community Service Manager) this phrase was chosen as the leading text for the work. It is translated into Braille & also features in English and the original language in which it
was written - Persian.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.
