To set to work again, sick or not sick
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 23 July 1882
Your letter to me crossed one of mine in which I told you I had resolved to set to work again, sick or not sick. Well, I have done so, and I find it does me no harm, though I must take more medicine to brace me up. But of course the work itself puts me in a much better mood. I could not bear staying away from my drawings any longer.
Letter 219
