“..the longer I am here Laren, the more beautiful it becomes for me and now that I feel myself more comfortable, I can judge it better.. .It is touching beautiful here [ Laren ], with a delicacy of lines and lovely poetry radiates from everywhere, interior houses, roads, fields, beautiful heath and bushes, and people are of the sweetest kind to imagine.. .Usually after dinner we make a little walk, what I enjoy a lot. I don't know how to say it, but I would like to live here for ever. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)”
