I hope not! So, why would an artist paint the sky this way? Perhaps I can answer that with another
40、question. When youre happy, why do you sing instead of speaking? Or when youre in love, why do you speak of roses and honey? When we do these things, we, too are artists. Were using something that goes beyond a mere scientific description in order to communicate our feelings more powerfully than str
41、aightforward words can. So consider for a moment that Van Gogh might not have been hallucinating (产生幻觉的) on the night he painted this. Maybe he felt something so powerful that he had to go beyond the familiar to express it.I hope Im reminding you of something you already know as I describe the exper
42、ience of being outside at night under a crystal clear sky that makes everything seem clean and refreshing. So you look up. And suddenly you see the sky that youve seldom seen before. Its not just the same old dark night sky tonight. Instead, the blackness is a deep, rich blue that is more bottomless
43、 than any ocean. The stars are not spots of light but brilliant, magical diamonds that dance like tiny angels. In just this special moment, the sky is somehow alive, and it seems to speak to you silently about the meaning of infinity (无限).ABE0742: Beginning LiteratureABE0742: BeginningABE0743: Inter

45、e struck down by a mental disease. It is natural to imagine that he frequently battled the fear that he would never escape his prison to true freedom. It is natural for us to imagine this because each of us has faced our own personal prison, whether it be disease, the loss of a loved one, serious fi
46、nancial problems In such moments it is tempting to give up to despair (绝望) and collapse in hopelessness.Looking at this painting, I imagine Van Gogh in just such a moment of despair, when he is struck by the memory of one of those amazing night skies. He recalls the sense that he is not alone, that there is a living, infinite world with rich colorful creatures and scenes all around.And so the sky flows across the canvas (画布) full of vitality (活力) and power. The stars dont just sparkle; they explode. Looking closer, we notice that the earth itself seems to respond to the movement in the
