As moulting time is for the birds - the time when they change their feathers - so adversity or misfortune is the difficult time for us human beings. One can stay in it, in that time of moulting, one can also come out of it renewed; but anyhow it must not be done in public and it is not at all amusing, therefore the only thing to do is to hide oneself. Well, be it so.
— Vincent Van Gogh discussing his melancholy in a letter to his brother Theo, July, 1880.
