Because of the whimsical and temperamental nature of love, I found myself sympathising with Vincent, but, at the same time, totally off by his naivety and lack of tact.

How tragic a one-sided love could be. Vincent's experience at Kay's is so devastating and emotional.

A beautiful biographical poem that brilliantly depicted the unique, interesting and disturbing character of the great painter; the power and agony brought by love and the extraordinary love of a brother.

The life of Vincent Van Gogh as narrated in the biographical poems is so unique, fascinating and interesting. The love of Theo for his brother is unconditional and eternal like the love of a mother. There is no greater love for a brother that I have ever read than the love.of Theo for Vincent.

The emotions depicted and expressed in this wonderful poem are so powerful...so intense and gripping. It was like a short novel put into a movie.

2) nFascinating to see the contrast between the two brothers...yet, they're almost like twins. Even twins can traverse two very different paths. Vincent chose the road less travelled...and paid a very high price. Are signs of mental illness beginning to show?

From the first stanza, I had a sneaking suspicion that Theo would send Vincent the money. And you wisely keep the reader in suspense until the very last 2 lines of that stanza.
