Van Gogh Phrasis Recited

AS IN A DREAM A drawbridge,a yellow carriage ground a glaring orange,grass so very green,sky and water blue in a frame of gold.Peach,plum and apricot my orchard passion cannot last.As if in a dream I must paint The a starry night,the cypresses over a field of corn.Great sunflowers in a symphony of yellow,blue fields as far as the eye can see.As if in a dream Van G’s Letters to his brother SAILING ALONE We painters sail alone in our wretched little craft on the great billows of our age.An age of development or decay? We cannot judge! Contemporary events assume exaggerated proportions to our eyes whether to our advantage ,or not, and yet that intangible thrills us to the core in our search for conception. Van G’s Letters to his brother *A Phrasis is a structured verse where the poet uses selected prose phrases of another writer’s(not a poet) to compile unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,the word phrasis is Greek for phrase.
