Always.

van Gogh, Patch of Grass, 1887


It is a good thing in winter to be deep in the snow, in the autumn deep in the yellow leaves, in summer among the ripe corn, in spring amid the grass; it is a good thing to be always with the mowers and the peasant girls, in summer with a big sky overhead, in winter by the fireside, and to feel that it always has been and always will be so.

Vincent van Gogh, from a letter to Theo van Gogh, June 1885
