Bertram https://carolinebertram.com/1-8 5 THE ORB I like is not the one That dazzles with its lightning gleam; That dares to look upon the sun, As though it challenged brighter beam. That orb may sparkle, flash, and roll;Its fire may blaze, its shaft may fly; But not for me: I prize the soul That slumbers in a quiet eye. Image by Jules Faure https://carolinebertram.com/9-16 Mon, 15 Jun 2026 09:18:46 +0000 Caroline Bertram https://carolinebertram.com/9-16 There ‘s something in its placid shade That tells of calm, unworldly thought; Hope may be crown’d, or joy delay’d— No dimness steals, no ray is caught. Its pensive language seems to say, “I know that I must close and die;” And death itself, come when it may, Can hardly change the quiet eye.Images by Niklas Bergstrand, Véra Ada10 15 https://carolinebertram.com/17-24 Mon, 15 Jun 2026 09:18:46 +0000 Caroline Bertram https://carolinebertram.com/17-24 There ‘s meaning in its steady glance, Of gentle blame or praising love, That makes me tremble to advance A word, that meaning might reprove. The haughty threat, the fiery look, My spirit proudly can defy, But never yet could meet and brook The upbraiding of a quiet eye.Images by Wataru Suzuki, Nick Hudson, The Collaborationist20 https://carolinebertram.com/About Mon, 15 Jun 2026 09:18:47 +0000 Caroline Bertram https://carolinebertram.com/About Caroline Bertram (she/her) is a Berlin-based ceramic artist and visual anthropologist whose practice moves between sculptural and functional ceramics.
