For some must follow, and some command
Though all are made of clay!
Kéramos (1878)
All things must change
To something new, to something strange.
Kéramos (1878)
The counterfeit and counterpart
Of Nature reproduced in art.
Kéramos (1878)
Figures that almost move and speak.
Kéramos (1878)
Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
To-morrow be to-day.
Kéramos (1878)
Turn, turn, my wheel! Turn round and round
Without a pause, without a sound:
So spins the flying world away!
This clay, well mixed with marl and sand,
Follows the motion of my hand;
For some must follow, and some command,
Though all are made of clay!
Kéramos (1878)
