Today we celebrate the birthday of Vincent van Gogh, born in 1853. Van Gogh moved to Arles in the south of France in 1888 to form an artist community. Here he began to apply a new high-keyed palette and staccato brushwork to his earthy subject matter and portraits of locals, such as The Smoker (Room 13, north wall). This was around the time of his fateful relationship with Gauguin, his first bout of mental illness, and his dedication to creating images of almost religious intensity.

Pablo Neruda a poet from Chile wrote a collection of poems called '20 Poemas de Amor y una Cancion Desesperada' ('20 poems of love and a desperate song'). Poem number 20 is transcribed here:

Puedo escribir los versos mas tristes esta noche.

Escribir, por ejemplo: "La noche esta estrellada, y
tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos".

El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta.

Puedo escribir los versos mas tristes esta noche.
Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso.

En las noches como esta la tuve entre mis brazos.
La bese tantas veces bajo el cielo infinito.

Ella me quiso, a veces yo también la quería.
Como no haber amado sus grandes ojos fijos.

Puedo escribir los versos mas tristes esta noche.
Pensar que no la tengo. Sentir que la he perdido.

Oír la noche inmensa, mas inmensa sin ella.
Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocío.

Que importa que mi amor no pudiera guardarla.
La noche esta estrellada y ella no esta conmigo.

Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos.
Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Como para acercarla mi mirada la busca.
Mi corazón la busca, y ella no esta conmigo.

La misma noche que hace blanquear los mismos arboles.
Nosotros, los de entonces, ya no somos los mismos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero cuanto la quise.
Mi voz buscaba el viento para tocar su oído.

De otro. Será de otro. Como antes de mis besos.
Su voz, su cuerpo claro. Sus ojos infinitos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.
Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido.

Porque en noches como esta la tuve entre mis brazos,
mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Aunque este sea el ultimo dolor que ella me causa,
y estos sean los últimos versos que yo le escribo.
