In such condition, loving painting the stars. Unlike other poems, this one starts with a quote from a letter sent by Van Gogh to his brother explaining his profound need for religion as an escape from the reality of his world, a need which, when fulfilled, allows him to touch that state of mind and soul that uncover his talent. The Starry night poem was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s well known painting having the same name – Starry Night. It’s wonderful, isn’t it? The Starry night poem is beautiful as it touches hearts connecting the author’s feelings with ours. The old unseen serpent swallows up the stars. To push children, like a god, from its eye.
Up like a drowned woman into the hot sky. – Vincent Van Gogh in a letter to his brother Then I go out at night to paint the stars. That does not keep me from having a terrible need of – shall I say the word – religion.
