Letter 057 Paris, 23 March 1876 巴黎 1876年3月23日

Dear Theo, At last I am sending Longfellow's poems; I am sure the book will become a friend to you. Today I answered two advertisements again. I continue to do it, though I get hardly any answers. My time here is drawing to a close. 今天我又回复了两份（招聘）广告。虽然没有得到任何回音，我还是继续这么做。我在这儿的时间已临近结束了。 You will see many beautiful things on your travels. Though love of nature is not everything, it is still a precious possession 宝贵的财富 ; may we keep it always. And now you will become a guest in “many an Inn 旅馆 ” - that is pleasant, too, sometimes. You know, I once made a trip on foot to Brighton 布赖顿（英国南部一城市）; I always remember it with pleasure. The inns in England are often so cosy 温暖而舒适的 . Longfellow describes it so well in Tales of a Wayside Inn 路边的旅店 . Gladwell 哈里·格莱威尔 has got my place at the gallery and is there already to become familiar with the work before I leave. I have seen several pictures intended for the Salon 沙龙 , including two beautiful large Gabriels 加布里埃尔（报喜天使）: “A Morning in the Meadows 草地 ” (through the haze 薄雾 one sees a town in the distance) and one of what we should call a “watery sun.” There were also two large Xavier de Cocks. One represents an evening at the beginning of summer, with a meadow surrounded by poplars 白杨树 ; in the distance, the farm and fields and a girl driving the cows home. In the foreground 前景 a pool, around which three cows are lying in the grass - one white, one black and one red; the sun has set and the trees stand out dark against the light yellowish 微黄的 sky. I am writing in great haste, as you can see from the handwriting. A pleasant journey; always Your loving brother, Vincent
