This inscription for Associated Architects at King’s School, Worcester is a quotation from Sophocles and was designed to fit in with the architect’s pallet of materials. Its translation, by the Headmaster, is etched into the screen to the left of the inscription and reads:

I learn what may be taught;
I seek what may be sought;
My other wants I dare
To ask from Heaven in prayer.
