The Math Behind Van Gogh's "Starry Night"

Physicist Werner Heisenberg said, “When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: why relativity? And why turbulence? I really believe he will have an answer for the first.” As difficult as turbulence is to understand mathematically, we can use art to depict the way it looks. Natalya St. Clair illustrates how Van Gogh captured this deep mystery of movement, fluid and light in his work.

I Hung My Head

Infer the story of the song from these lines:

I saw a lone rider crossing the plain 

My brother's rifle went off in my hand

I kept on running into the south lands

The sheriff he asked me why had I run

I see the judge high up in his chair

I begged their forgiveness, I wish I was dead

I see the gallows up on the hill

I see a lone rider crossing the plain

I Hung my Head

Lyrics

I Hung my Head

Early one morning with time to kill
I __________ Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill
I __________ a lone rider crossing the plain
I __________ a bead on him, to practice my aim

My brother's rifle _________ off in my hand
A shot _________ out across the land
The horse, he _________ running, the rider _________ dead

I _________ my head, I hung my head

 

Who is Jeb?

What tense are the missing verbs in?

 

I _________ off running to wake from the dream
My brother's rifle ___________ into the sheen
I _________ on running into the south lands
That's where they _________ me, my head in my hands

The sheriff he _________ me why had I run
And then it _________ to me, just what I had done
And all for no reason, just one piece of lead

I _________ my head, I hung my head

 

Why do you think the man ran?

 

 

Here in the courthouse, the whole town _________ there
I _________ the judge high up in his chair
_________ to the courtroom what went through your mind
And we'll _________ the jury what verdict they _________

 

What tense are the missing verbs in? Why has this changed?

I _________ the power of death over life
I _________ his children, I _________ his wife
I _________ their forgiveness, I wish I _________ dead

I hung my head, I hung my head
I hung my head, I hung my head

 

Should the man be forgiven? Why, why not?

 

Early one morning with time to kill
I _________ the gallows up on the hill
And out in the distance, a trick of the brain
I _________ a lone rider crossing the plain

And he'd _________ to fetch me, to see what they'd done
And we'll _________ together to kingdom come
I _________ for God's mercy, for soon I'll be dead

I hung my head, I hung my head
I hung my head, I hung my head

 

What is the meaning of this story to you?

Why we're not in the land of the white long cloud

Did you know when you describe something your adjectives should go in a certain order? That's why we're the land of the long white cloud, not the white long cloud. Recently, the culture editor of the BBC sent out a tweet about a book called The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase by Mark Forsyth, and the topic of the order of adjectives went wild on the internet. In his book, Forsyth reminds us of a rule in English we didn't know we knew. Adjectives need to be in a certain order to make sense.

try saying some  of these phrases the other way around (i.e faddle fiddle)

 

What’s the  common sound pattern in these phrases?

The answer is that the vowels for which the tongue is high and in the front always come before the vowels for which the tongue is low and in the back.
