Recorded in the spellings of Minor, Minors, Miner, Miners, the French Huguenot Minier, and its possible variant Minear, this is an English surname of French origins.
Green Wheat Fields, Auvers was painted during Van Goghâs final months in Auvers-sur-Oise, a village just north of Paris. This work is a âpure landscapeâ in that there is no visible motif beyond the grassy field, road, and sky; there are no animals or figures, but instead lush flora whipped up by the wind.
Allusions are also apparent in the third and fourth stanza when the tree bears an apple which the foe beholds, and when the enemy steals into the garden. This allusion to the Garden of Eden is used to bring the poem into a more biblical realm, which is typical of Blakeâs work. In the first stanza, the consequence of allowing anger to continue instead of stopping it as it begins is shown.
