Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh 1891

Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

That starry starry night

when Vincent stumbled home through a drizzle of rain ~ what was going on inside that teeming, torturous brain? Did he blaspheme heaven with every profanity and curse? Or did he gaze in wonder at the stars of his exploding universe, and try to make of their blue and yellow light a poultice for his pain?
