Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(15 October 1880)
... you will approve of
what I have said.
I think that lodgings and perhaps food somewhat better than
that of the Borinage will also help to set me right again. For
I have undergone some misery in the Belgian “Black
Country,” and my health has not... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(early August 1881)
... that you hope to
come back before very long. Of course I feel quite better now.
The day after you left I stayed in bed, however, and had a long
talk with Dr. Van Gent, a clever and practical man; not because
I thought this insignificant malaise important, but rather

(26 January 1882)
... of us know how to profit from every mood.
Well, I have some hope that as soon as I am quite well
again, things will go better than they are now. If I have to
rest awhile, I shall, but probably it will soon be over. In
general, I do not feel so strong as a few... |

... depends on: perspective and proportion.
During the last fortnight I have been weak, not feeling well
at all; I haven't given in to it and have gone on with my work.
But, for instance, I have not been able to sleep for several
nights, and have been feverish... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... but they do not know everything yet.
I am just weak and feeble, Theo, and I need absolute,
absolute rest to recover, so everything that makes for peace is
welcome. But I felt much worse than now before I was lying
here, and please bear in mind that it is not... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(22 June 1882)
... most kindly. I did not answer you before because I
did not know what turn my illness would take, as I did not
recover as quickly as the doctor had expected. I have already
been here more than two weeks, and I have had to pay for the
next two weeks in advance, though... |

(4 July 1882)
... are
sitting down for a bite of lunch.
I am feeling pretty good, at least much better than I have
for a long time. Yesterday I met the superintendent of the
hospital, Dr. van Tienhoven, on the street, and told him how I
was getting on, and he said it was... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(7 July 1882)
... and that the baby was all
right.
I get tired and exhausted very easily because I had to keep
quiet in bed so long, and it is a queer feeling. But in many
respects I feel well and better than last winter, and I am so
cheerful and grateful for many things.... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(14 August 1882)
... the future
will look more attractive.
Neither do I believe that it will hinder me if my health
should give way a little from time to time. As far as I can
see, the painters who occasionally cannot work for a week or
two are not the worst ones. It... |
