Here I feel something holy
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 11 December 1882
When strong enough to stand on its own feet, the Graphic rented a house and began to print with six machines.
I have full respect for this; here I feel something holy, something noble, something sublime. Then look at that group of great artists, and think of foggy London and the bustle in that small workshop. Moreover, I see in my imagination the draftsmen in their several studios, starting their work with the best enthusiasm.
