| A further series of steps is only visible during the vernal equinox. | | | | Song | | | |
| A lofty but narrow chamber is contrived in the thickness of the walls and access is gained from a door opening from the masonry platform on which the engine stands. | | | | Song | | | |
| A pointer indicates on three arms: West, North and East. | | | | Song | | | |
| A shadow is cast to the East after noon. | | | | Song | | | |
| A shadow is cast to the East after noon. | | | | Song | | | |
| A shadow is cast to the West before noon. | | | | Song | | | |
| Access by observers to each engine is gained by an imperfection which differs from one to another. | | | | Song | | | |
| Access to any part of the engine is by steps which offer vantage points for various readings. | | | | Song | | | |
| All the gardens will concur. Here is the mixed engine. | | | | Song | | | |
| All the lead calibrations are warm to the touch. | | | | Song | | | |
| And the light falls on the circular arcs. | | | | Song | | | |
| Another flight of observation steps and the sense of quiet rotation as I ascend. | | | | Song | | | |
| Another slope with stars for the reading of figures. | | | | Song | | | |
| At one moment in the year the sun shines through a hole in the wall on to a calibrated arc. | | | | Song | | | |
| Beneath this circle is an arc of masonry steps for the convenience of observers. | | | | Song | | | |
| Codex Bast | | | | | | | |
| Days and nights are measured here, and in the measuring seem longer, suspended somehow. | | | | Song | | | |
| Dead Heart | | | | | | | |
| Eliptical Twilight | | | | | | | |
| Entropic Appetites | | | | | | | |
| Every day at noon the sun shines through these apertures for the space of about a minute. | | | | Song | | | |

| Green Evil | | | | | | | |
| Here I find a central iron pole with hooks facing to the North, South, East and West. | | | | Song | | | |
| Here is a huge vertical right-angled triangle made of stone. | | | | Song | | | |
| Here is a room to divide the sun like an orange. | | | | Song | | | |
| Here is an immense brass circle suspended vertically from stone supports. | | | | Song | | | |
| Here is the Supreme Engine. | | | | Song | | | |
| Here was the Supreme Engine. | | | | Song | | | |
| Hold the machine in the vertical plane. | | | | Song | | | |
| I Have Observed And Measured For Seven Years | | | | Song | | | |
| I have observed and measured for seven years. | | | | Song | | | |
| I have seen charts sent from Portugal but they are flawed and full of error. | | | | Song | | | |
| I study the vaults of a shell in which we float. | | | | Song | | | |
| I will build other gardens, other engines. | | | | Song | | | |
| Into this chamber no ray of light can find its way except through two small squares high in the South wall. | | | | Song | | | |
| It is inscribed with concentric circles, at the centre of which lies a pointer. | | | | Song | | | |
| It is only necessary to engrave a scale of the tangents along the rim to obtain a direct reading of the declination. | | | | Song | | | |
| Near the bottom of the wall facing the South side of the eastern hemisphere there is a hole. | | | | Song | | | |
| On the East face are inscribed two quadrants of twenty-feet radius. | | | | Song | | | |
| On the West face is described a semicircle of nineteen-feet, ten-inch radius. | | | | Song | | | |
| Once complete engine is formed by two differently incomplete parts which combined provide total reference. | | | | Song | | | |
| One Armed Sun Ascending | | | | | | | |
| Originally cross wires stretched across each hemisphere, East to West and North to South. | | | | Song | | | |
| Pointing towards the pole an iron pin is fixed at right angles to the centre of a dial. | | | | Song | | | |

| Seven of the eight rings indicate signs. | | | | Song | | | |
| Seventh Memory. | | | | Song | | | |
| Sight Wave Relock | | | | | | | |
| Sighting bars were placed in the slots within the chamber, but none remain now. | | | | Song | | | |
| Sixth Memory. | | | | Song | | | |
| Some of the calibrations are now submerged beneath the ground and cannot be read. | | | | Song | | | |
| Some steps ascend past markings to a platform. | | | | Song | | | |
| Suspended in the hum of history. | | | | Song | | | |
| The Alteration | | | | | | | |
| The altitude of the body observed is given while observing the vertically hanging bar through the two brass rings. | | | | Song | | | |
| The calibrated parts are raised on three-foot pillars. | | | | Song | | | |
| The central pillars are five feet three inches in diameter. | | | | Song | | | |
| The chamber is no longer accessible to visitors. | | | | Song | | | |
| The dial is only visible by starlight. | | | | Song | | | |
| The engine of amplitude has a function which is no longer known. | | | | Song | | | |
| The floor and walls are calibrated to read altitude and azimuth. | | | | Song | | | |
| The image of the sun indicates the sun's position as it passes through a hole in the concurve surface. | | | | Song | | | |
| The lead calibrations are poisonous to the touch. | | | | Song | | | |
| The Luxury of Horns | | | | | | | |
| The mosaic of starlight slips back like the lid of an opening eye. | | | | Song | | | |
| The movement of the engines produces a scent. | | | | Song | | | |
| The pink masonry charges the twilight with a faint sound. | | | | Song | | | |
| The plants will steal this engine when we have gone. | | | | Song | | | |
| The positions and altitudes of heavenly bodies maybe gauged with this engine. | | | | Song | | | |
| The ramped stair to the North of the two drums vanishes at thirty-two feet. | | | | Song | | | |
| The rim of each hemisphere is a horizon divided into degrees and minutes. | | | | Song | | | |
| The roofs of the enclosed drums are implied by shadows. | | | | Song | | | |
| The shadow can fall in the vacant sector of a drum. | | | | Song | | | |
| The shadow is cast North/South at noon by an iron pin. | | | | Song | | | |
| The sky has shaped this place. | | | | Song | | | |
| The sound of insects here studs the night like a thousand fizzing stars. | | | | Song | | | |
| The stars are ranged across the inner shell of a vast hollow sphere in which hung the earth. | | | | Song | | | |
| The stone dish is slotted with figures and shadow. | | | | Song | | | |
| The sun seen through the pair of brass rings is used by the bar to indicate the time from sunrise until sunrise. | | | | Song | | | |
| The whole brass circle can be revolved around its vertical diameter so that altitude observations can be taken of any object at any time. | | | | Song | | | |
| There are arcs made of marble which are calibrated with inlaid lead in degrees and minutes. | | | | Song | | | |
| There are four of these arcs, two in each chamber. | | | | Song | | | |
| There are pillars at the centre of each circular wall each open to the sky. | | | | Song | | | |
| There is a brass pointer fitted with sights and pivoted to the centre of the circle by which altitude observations are made. | | | | Song | | | |
| There is a huge calibrated sundial on each of its sides. | | | | Song | | | |
| These arcs are also accessible by numerous flights of stairs. | | | | Song | | | |
| These are instruments fuelled by shadow, and engines propelled by the sliding of the skies. | | | | Song | | | |
| These are the cool engines of celestial map-making. | | | | Song | | | |
| These calibrations are no longer clearly visible. | | | | Song | | | |
| These steps are worn to a ramp and lead nowhere. | | | | Song | | | |
| These steps enable the observer to see all aspects of the brass calibration below. | | | | Song | | | |
| These structures are made in receipt of starlight. | | | | Song | | | |
