Posthu­mous psy­chi­atric diag­noses sur­round Vin­cent like a cloud—or per­haps even a cloak of pro­tec­tion. In his own time, he was diag­nosed with epilep­sy, schiz­o­phre­nia and sub­stance abuse, topped with a hunch of bor­der­line per­son­al­i­ty and bipo­lar dis­or­der assigned long after his life had elapsed. Mania might have encour­aged his urge to paint, but sad­ness and fear found their redemp­tion in his warm colour stud­ies. “[I]nstead of giv­ing in to despair I chose active melan­choly,” Vin­cent wrote. 1

Edit to add: I found the letter in French because I looked for it in French (because the OP said, "la tristesse durera toujours"). I wondered whether the original was more likely to have been in Dutch but apparently Vincent started to write his letters to Theo using French rather than Dutch in 1886, when Theo moved from Holland to France. Oth­er inter­pre­ta­tionsread into Vincent’s Star­ry Nighta sense of rest­less­ness, a very ner­vous and strained state of mind fleshed out by the play of light and dark­ness. In those read­ings, the vil­lage below rep­re­sents the calm he sought, with the house’s lit win­dows rep­re­sent­ing a guid­ing hope towards the future.
