“I have already told you that
I always have to fight against the mistral,
that absolutely prevents
being the master of one’s touch.”

Why the critics
do not read the letters
before blindly commenting
the touch of Vincent
as if he was incapable?
It is simply
that they themselves cannot
make the least gesture
capable of leaving a trace
on the canvas
but also inside the memory
of men who love
most of all humanity.
