Don Mc Lean - Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)

Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and gray,
look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils,
catch the breeze and the winter chills,
in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me,
how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain,
weathered faces lined in pain,
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

And now I understand what you tried to say to me,
how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you, but still your love was true,
and when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
you took your life, as lovers often do, but I could have told you,
Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,
frameless heads on nameless walls, with eyes that watch the world and
can't forget. Like the strangers that you've met,
the ragged man in ragged clothes, the silver thorn of bloody rose,
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

And now I think I know, what you tried to say to me,
how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still,
perhaps they never will.

Tu es bon pour les peintres et saches le bien que plus j’y réfléchis plus je sens qu’il n’y a rien de plus réellement artistique que d’aimer les gens.

##### You’re kind to painters, and be sure that the more I think about it the more I feel that there’s nothing more genuinely artistic than to love people.

~Vincent van Gogh in a letter to his brother Theo, dated September 18, 1888 [+]

This morning I wrote a letter to my friend Peter who is a sculptor, poet and philosopher and put it into a van Gogh envelope, thought to give him a quote by Vincent and was happy to find the above treasure.

1886 Bowl with Sunflowers, Roses and Other Flowers [+]
oil on canvas 50 x 61 cm
Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh (1853 – 1890) painted Vase with Honesty in 1884, and would continue to paint flowers throughout his career. For an artist like van Gogh, who was struggling to sell work and earn a living, money was always an issue. Painting flowers was an inexpensive endeavor, and van Gogh wrote “And now for what regards what I myself have been doing, I have lacked money for paying models, else I had entirely given myself to figure painting but I have made a series of colour studies in painting simply flowers, red poppies, blue corn flowers and myosotys. White and red roses, yellow chrysanthemums.”
