Like all of us, Dali saw time running out; from the moment of our birth, we’re dying. We’re here for a finite, limited time. And the anguish of time is ever-present, as the minutes, hours, days, months and years slip-side away (to borrow a phrase from singer Paul Simon).In “Nobility of Time,” a crown tops the watch, elevating its regal, royal, imperial importance in our lives, while the tree trunk that supports it sprouts new life and its roots latch onto a rock.

The image is a wonderful display of Dali's always astonishing artistry. This drawing is dedicated to Lucien Decaunes, the husband of Cecile Eluard, Gala's daughter with the Surrealists Poet Paul Eluard. Though it is widely known that Gala had a frivolous relationship with her daughter, Dalí had nothing but compassion for Cecile. He often sent her letters and drawings that she kept hung on the walls of her home. Cecile and her husband Lucien were great fans of Dali's work. It is not known how many drawings Dalí attributed to Cecile and Lucien Eluard, but only a handful can be found, this being one.The drawing is particularly peculiar mainly because at first glance it appears incomplete. The main depiction has St. George raised on his horse with his arms angled and hands open. In between those hands should be a spear, a spear that appears in almost every sing
