Remember the cheerful faith of the bell
Calling out with the sound that all shall be well
Feet approaching in multiples of rhyme
Going this way and that in simple time
Friends and family and foe together
Natter and chatter about the weather
Reflections of moments now but a dream
While the inward eye wanders downstream
Reflections of moments now but a dream
While the inward eye wanders downstread
Streadfast gravity that draws to the ground
Brings the bell up to strike another sound
Remember the cheerful faith of the bell
Calling out with the sound that all shall be well
About the Artist
Oliver Trace’s work takes concepts of a psychological or philosophical nature and grounds them in aesthetic and linguistic form. Inspired by the Impressionists and the Romantics, his focus is on giving a modern spin to old ideas, refitting them within the constraints of the digital age.
