What days these are

Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from Arles, 17 September 1888

What days these are, not for what happens in them, but I feel so strongly that both you and I are neither in our decadence nor done for yet, nor shall we ever be.

But you know, I do not contradict the critics who will say that my pictures are not - finished.
