Memory of the Garden at Etten, Arles 1888 - Vincent Van Gogh

'During my illness I saw again every room in the house at Zundert, every path, every plant in the garden, the views of the fields outside, the neighbours, the graveyard, the church, our kitchen garden at the back - down to the magpie's nest in a tall acacia in the graveyard. It's because I still have earlier recollections of those first days than any of the rest of you. There is no one left who remembers all this but .Mother and me. I say no more about it, since I had better not try to go over all that passed through my head then.'
