Van Gogh is expressing the idea that life is a constant struggle – a battle that requires not just strength, but also resilience, awareness, and a positive mindset. 💪
He added a poem to this letter, to his brother Theo, called ‘Up-hill’ by Christina Georgina Rossetti:
Does the road go up-hill then all the way?
‘Yes to the very end’
And will the journey take all day long?
‘From morn till night, my friend.’
