The Quote
The sea, the sea is everything! Its sovereign massbrings to me atoms of a myriad faraway lands;Its bright smile animates me in the limpid morningsAnd when at the end of day my faith has failed meMy heart echoes the sound of its sorrow in the sands.

- Jose Rizal, Mi Retiro (translated by Nick Joaquin)

The Painting
Starry NIght over the Rhone by Vincent Van Gogh, September 1888. Van Gogh was fascinated with nightscapes; the result was some of his most compelling and haunting work (including Starry Starry Night).
