Starry Night, by Vincent Van Gogh (Netherlands), 1889.
Revelation
​
From the window at Saint-Rémy 
I saw a starry night and my brush
was turbulent with swirls.

The night sky was not dark — a bright moon
and eleven yellow-white stars lit the blue.
Still, I was Joseph, thrown into a pit alone

until I heard His voice bend in the wheat.
