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. - july, 1882
igatsen tihti kirju, märkamatult. kirju, ja räpaseid nurki. juuli, 1882.
