There goes Vincent with his jagged sky, and ragged beard. His cobalt blue are stained with the glue that should hold us all together, but it doesn't. His sunflowers are lost on humanity. When we can't hold on to what we pretend to love, we kill it... Usually in small treacherous ways, like apathy or arrogance.

Impressive piece, despite my limited knowledge of the fellow, which can be summed up with the most misquoted thing of all first, that he didnt sell any paintings in his lifetime, which most people who have heard of a pub wuiz league knows is a trick question, because he sold loads, while working as an art salesman in England, so should read "he sold none of his own painting, which thsnkfully moves me on to my fibal piece of trivia abouy his sunflowrrs. Didnt he paint them to cheer up the room of another artist who was staying with him.
Eother way, im sure he'd nod appreciatively at this.
dearest Thomas, all I can keep up with at present... are some poems on WC. My Husband takes Dialysis and has a weak Heart-- so most of my Time is spent being a Caretaker. I do find strength in reading every day poetry when I can. softly, Pat
