Vincent Van Gogh, 'The Starry Night'
Starry Starry Night
I was walking home on this starry starry night,
remembering a passage that a dear friend wrote for me a couple of months ago
when everything was in a mass and I quite forgot how I would like the course of life to go.
That was a beautiful passage, beautifully written.
I am remembering that passage, perhaps, because the same thought that abused me at the time is now recalled.
But this time, with a sober mind.
'Nothing lasts forever'--a notion that is perhaps unkind,
But so will trouble and sorrow be untied.
To a friend.
Vincent van Gogh's 'The Starry Night' is one of my favourite paintings. It is so alive!
ReplyDeleteyes, Van Gogh is simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteVan Gogh is definitely a favourite of mine. I am a big fan of the impressionist movement. I think it was the best period in the history of art to date. I am just mesmerised by so many paintings from that genre.
ReplyDeleteImpressionism is certainly an important development in the history of Art. But somehow, I feel, Van Gogh has made such an extraordinary and personalized touch to oil painting that painters of later generation somehow have to struggle hard to break away from his impressionistic fashion.
