skies of rose

“When good old Corot said a few days before his death, ‘Last night I saw in a dream landscapes with skies all rose’—well, haven’t they come, those skies of rose and yellow and green into the bargain, the impressionist landscapes? All of which means that there are things one feels are to come, and they come, in very truth.”

—Vincent van Gogh, Dear Theo: The Autobiography of Vincent van Gogh, edited by Irving Stone, 1958.
