A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings
of spring
which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone and feel the charm of existence in this
spot which
was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed
in the
exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul like these sweet mornings of

I am alone and feel the charm of existence in this spot created for the bliss of souls
like mine.
I am so happy, my dear friend, absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil
existence, neglecting
my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment, and
yet I feel
I was never a greater artist.
