This painting depicts a cafe in Arles,France specifically the Cafe Terrace and today the cafe is called Cafe van Gogh. The style of the painting is unique for Van Gogh with warm colors and depth of perspective.
Where poets meet and the singers set
their opera, that place is my blue terrace
their opera, that place is my blue terrace
intertwining in it, a web of thousands wordings
everyday
under a falling night.
The violin floating, playing by itself
greets the - many faces of love, evolving,
dilating, out of nothingness,
into
a scantling canvas of everlasting pertinence.
The hanging terrace, my partner, along
with all my fellowmen
dipped in the hotness of a brewing drink
lend each other
a charming smile, some fine glow growing
with time, each passing night.
By a table, cornered, soft and downy,
inscribed the dove scribbling
where young faces, mad and supple
write their lover’s tales
and
still again,
after a fifty years, holding hands,
under a falling night.
