:42:01
Why couldn't I have shown him
a little more consideration?
:42:04
Given him some pleasure
while he was alive?
:42:07
It wouldn't have hurt me
to come to his church once in a while.
:42:09
We always assume there's time...
:42:12
and that we can give love
on our own terms.
:42:15
Then one day we wake up and find
it's too late to give it on any terms.
:42:23
Will you go back to your life in The Hague?
:42:27
That's over.
It was wrong from the beginning.
:42:31
Come to Paris, Vincent.
We could live together.
:42:36
You're not the only one that's lonely.
:42:38
Not yet, Theo. Some day, but not now.
:42:41
You could meet other painters.
See what they're doing.
:42:44
If I'm to be anything as a painter,
I've got to break through the iron wall...
:42:47
between what I feel
and what I can express.
:42:51
And my best chance of doing it is here...
:42:54
where my roots are, the people I know...
:42:59
the earth I know.
:43:08
Dear Theo, thank you for the money,
the paints, and canvas.
:43:13
With your help, I go forward.
:43:15
I feel the force to work
growing daily within me.
:43:19
Do your realize, Theo,
that what I'm doing is new?
:43:23
In the paintings of the old masters...
:43:26
did you ever see
a single man or woman at work?
:43:29
Did they ever try to paint a laborer,
or a man digging?
:43:32
They didn't.
:43:34
And for good reason. ;
because work is so hard to draw.
:43:46
Just look at the way he's dressed.
That old sheepskin.
:43:49
Oh, my. I tell you, I'm sorry for the family.
:43:54
To paint these people means to
be with them in the fields day after day...
:43:59
and by their firesides at night.
