💬 Usage Examples
“Our love for art might inspire in us a collier’s faith to say what others have said before and will say again after us. Namely that even if the situation is ominous, and even if we’re very poor &c. &c., yet we firmly concentrate on one single thing, on painting, naturally.” [Van Gogh writing to his brother Theo, circa Nov 8, 1883] Patrick Grant; Reading Vincent van Gogh: A Thematic Guide to the Letters; 2016.
