I would like to understand more about this poem. I am supposed to write an essay comparing the poem and Van Goghs painting. Please e-mail if you can help thanks

For a better understanding of this poem, look to a song written and performed by Don McLean called, Vincent. vincent Van Gogh killed himself because he thought himself misunderstood. i think maybe anne is relating to his plight here, as she often wrote of suicide out of what some say was a constant feeling of helplessness and despair. she, like van gough, took her own life (after many attempts throughout her life).
