Hossein, your article was fun. I think though I'm too settled with the original if not wholely accurate history.

My thought is to propose some subjective history of my own on Vincent's ear. That he sliced into himself to feel himself -- to prove to himself that he existed. It was an act out of loneliness and dispare possibly made more intense by the rejection from Gauguin. His painting of the "cornfields with ravens" express that bleakness of the roads that diverge, never to come together and journey to a very dark sky.

Manty thanks
