Since no one seems to have mentioned it yet: Paul Simon, "Rene and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War" And for anyone who cares, that Don McLean song is actually called "Vincent"...

For ten thousand miles the landscape Spreads out like a beautiful brocade. Gentle sunshine. Light breezes. Smiling flowers, Hang in the trees, amongst the sparkling leaves, All the birds sing at once. Men and animals rise up reborn. What could be more natural?
