His story is also the story of two brothers, their love for each others and their sympathy to others. This seems to be a contradiction with Vincent self-portrait glazes.

that can be as sad as they can be happy.
33. ROYAUTE
Un beau matin, chez un peuple fort doux, un homme et une
femme superbes criaient sur la place publique: "Mes amis, je
veux qu'elle soit reine!" "Je veux être reine!" Elle riait et
tremblait. Il parlait aux amis de révélation, d'épreuve
terminée. Ils se pâmaient l'un contre l'autre.
En effet ils furent rois toute une matinée, où les tentures
carminées se relevèrent sur les maisons, et tout l'après-midi, où
ils s'avancèrent du côté des jardins de palmes.
We think that this poem tells that the woman screaming to be
a queen, means by that, that she wants to marry her partner
and by doing that she will become a queen, that is an indirect
way to say that her partner is a king. They end up marrying
each other at the end of the poem.

CHILD WIFE
Vous n’avez rien compris à ma simplicité.
Rien, ô ma pauvre enfant !
Et c’est avec un front éventé, dépité.
Que vous fuvez devant.
[...]
Et vous n’avez pas su la lumière et l’honneur
D’un amour brave et fort,
Joyeux dans le malheur, grave dans le bonheur,
Jeune jusqu’à la mort !
