Though I am often in the depths of mis­ery, there is still calm­ness, pure har­mo­ny and music inside me. I see paint­ings or draw­ings in the poor­est cot­tages, in the dirt­i­est cor­ners. And my mind is dri­ven towards these things with an irre­sistible momen­tum.” 8 Toujours is ambiguous in French in that it can mean "forever" or "still": so another translation could be, "(In that case) the sadness will still exist".

La Tristesse Durera" (literally "the sadness will go on") is the title of a biography of Vincent van Gogh, although the song is not about him but about a war veteran. [6] Style and influences [ edit ]

Van Gogh was at odds everywhere—in the church, in the artis­tic scene in Paris, in the com­mu­ni­ty of Arles, and also in Auvers-sur-Oise. In Auvers-sur-Oise, not every­thing was bad. He car­ried on a gen­tle romance with Gachet’s daugh­ter, felt tru­ly at home in Gustave’s Inn, and was so close to his broth­er Theo. Even if his attempt to belong was not always suc­cess­ful, there were moments of hap­pi­ness for Vin­cent, moments of peace. Did his sui­cide arise not from impulse, but rea­son? Did he calm­ly decide to put an end to his life? Or was there a per­son with whom he was in con­flict, even, per­haps, with his doc­tor Gachet, who envied his abil­i­ties and him­self led a failed artist’s life? For peo­ple with affec­tive dis­or­ders, it often doesn’t take a sharp trig­ger, a loud snap, to take the final step to the end. Even if Vin­cent did not shoot him­self, it was his deci­sion to sur­ren­der to death over the course of two days. “The sad­ness will last for­ev­er,” he con­fessed. 2 For the star­ry sky, I still very much hope to paint it, and per­haps one of these evenings I’ll be in the same ploughed field, if the sky is twin­kling bright­ly.” 9 “The Star­ry Night” (1889) by Vin­cent VanGogh. It might be conditional. Durera isn't subjunctive (so my theory that it's conditional might be wrong), but maybe (based on the context i.e. the dialog in the story) there's an implied conditional (which, being only implied, might not need to be expressed using a subjunctive) ... i.e. the translation could be, "The sadness would last forever (if his brother healed his gun-shot wound)"The fish­er­men know that the sea is dan­ger­ous and the storm ter­ri­ble, but they have nev­er found these dan­gers suf­fi­cient rea­son for remain­ing ashore” 11—The end of van Gogh’s story

Translated by Mrs. Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, edited by Robert Harrison, number 133. van Gogh describes his fas­ci­na­tion with the night time sky in a 1888 let­ter. 10It would not be unusu­al for patients suf­fer­ing from men­tal health issues to seek refuge in the night sky’s poet­ry, and its many stars which seem to be sewn onto the rich­est of dark fabrics. a b Wilding, Philip (12 December 2017).
