Before leaving Saint-Rémy, he wrote to Émile Bernard:
“…And yet, once again I let myself go reaching for stars that are too big —
a new failure — and I have had enough of it.”

“I too am sometimes sad and lonely, especially when I walk around a church or parsonage.
Let’s not give in, but try to be patient and gentle. And do not mind being eccentric…”

Time and time again
I see your face smiling inside
I’m so happy
That you love me
Life is lovely
When you’re near me
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile…
On a dark night,
Kindled in love with yearnings…
I went forth without being observed,
My house being now at rest…
–Saint John of the Cross, “Dark Night Of The Soul”
