Starry Night Over Rhone River by Vincent Van Gogh Plaque

Dreamlike story inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's Night Over the Rhône: The air hummed with the low thrum of the river, a lullaby that lulled the senses. Two figures, their faces obscured by the soft glow of the gas lamps, strolled along the riverbank. They moved with a gentle sway, as if the very ground beneath them was a slow-moving tide. - The sky above was an explosion of color, a vibrant tapestry woven from swirling blues, greens, and yellows. Each star pulsed with an inner light, casting shimmering reflections on the river's surface. The water itself seemed to breathe, its ripples shimmering like diamonds scattered across a velvet cloth. - The figures, lost in their own silent conversation, barely noticed the world around them. They walked hand in hand, their steps echoing softly in the stillness. The river, a silver serpent, glided past, carrying their whispers downstream. - Suddenly, a wave, larger than the others, crashed against the shore, sending a spray of water towards them. They laughed, startled, their laughter echoing in the night. The wave receded, leaving behind a trail of shimmering droplets that clung to their clothes like jewels. - As they continued their walk, the town lights began to fade, replaced by the soft glow of the moon. The stars grew brighter, their light painting the sky with a celestial dance. The two figures, now mere silhouettes against the luminous backdrop, continued their journey, their steps growing lighter, their laughter fading into the distance. - And as the first rays of dawn began to paint the horizon, they vanished, leaving behind only the lingering scent of night and the memory of a dream. - This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer. - This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1930.
