Van Gogh on poetry & love 🌸🌸🌸

“I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream”.

Peach Tree in Blossom – 1888

In his letters to his brother Theo, Vincent van Gogh wrote:

🌸  “I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.” (1880)

🌸  “Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”  (1882)

🌸  “Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.”  (1883)

💮”Penso sempre che il miglior modo per conoscere Dio sia amare tante cose”.

💮”Le grandi cose non sono fatte d’istinto, ma per mezzo di una serie di piccole cose messe insieme.”

💮”La poesia ci circonda ovunque, ma fissarla sulla carta non è facile come guardarla.”
