"The Mountain spirits" by V Gogh


This painting was made in Sardinia
where the fumes of the air rising above
the mountains in nighttime create a very
mysterious atmosphere. While creating
this picture the following poem arose in my mind:

"The Mountain Spirits"

The Mountain Spirits in the Night
Moving through air and warmness
Along, to the gathering
In time where people sleeping
Together as one great family
A sound as one decision
After much rumour, .. just a little wind
Yet, .. at last a quiet night
