A phrase that haunts me
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from Paris, January 1876
There is a phrase that haunts me these days - it is today's text, "His children will seek to please the poor." . . .
For several days we have had a mouse in our "cabin", which is what we call our room. Every night, we put bread on the floor for it, and it knows already where to find it.
Letter 52
