"Drustan (or Drust) was a name borne by several shadowy but historical kings of the Picts, some of whom may have been antecedents of Tristan, the Arthurian hero. The Welsh counterpart is Drystan (recorded as having a lover named Essylt), a Latin version of the name is Drustanus."

The first "clock" or method of measuring time dates back to 3500 B.C. and was a device called the "gnomon": a stick placed vertically in the ground which, when the sun hit it, cast a shadow. The ancients measured the relative positions of the shadow throughout the day, monitoring time. The hemispherical sundial replaced the gnomon in the third century B.C. Unfortunately, with gnomons and sundials, on rainy days, nobody knew what time it was.

"The Greek word for infinity was apeiron, which literally means unbounded, but can also mean infinite, indefinite, or undefined. Apeiron was a negative, even pejorative word. The original chaos out of which the world was formed was Apeiron. An arbitrary crooked line was apeiron. A dirty, crumpled handkerchief was apeiron. Thus apeiron need not only mean infinitely large but can also mean totally disordered, infinitely complex, subject to no finite determination. In Aristotle's words "...being infinite is a privation, not a perfection, but the absence of a limit..."
