Notes About The Poem

Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh 1891

Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

That starry starry night

Van Gogh on that starry starry night


When Vincent stumbled home that night 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 awe at the stars of his exploding universe, and try to make of their blue and yellow light a poultice for his pain?
