Letter 065 Ramsgate, 6 May 1876 拉姆斯盖特 1876年5月6日

Dear Theo, By the same mail you will receive the two little books I promised you. I marked a few things in them, but you will find many other beautiful ones besides. But as I wrote to you already, one grows so fond of them, especially when one is in the country itself. It is again Saturday evening, and the weather is lovely; the sea is calm 平静的 , it is low tide 潮 , the sky is a subtle 稀薄的 milky blue, on the horizon 地平线 a hint of fog. All morning the weather was so nice, it was so clear there where I can now see the fog. The town has something very peculiar 奇特的 about it; everywhere you can see the influence of the sea - but you know that characteristic 特征 , too, for one also finds it at The Hague 海牙 and Scheveningen. Do you go to see Uncle Cor now and then? Sometimes I have such a longing to see him, I wrote to him yesterday. Tell Mr. Tersteeg something about the school here. Honestly, I have had some happy hours here, yet I don' t have plain 明白的,清晰的 and complete confidence in this happiness, in this peace. The one may be the result of the other. Man rarely declares 很少宣称 that he is satisfied; as soon as he finds that that it goes too well, the sooner he thinks that it will not go well enough. But this is in parenthesis; we must not talk about it, but continue quietly on our way. Spend a pleasant Sunday morning. Give my love to all the Roos family, also to Mr. and Mrs. Tersteeg and Betsy and a firm handshake from Your loving brother, Vincent
