The main argument that Shakespeare could not have written the plays is that only a well educated member of the aristocracy would have had the time or the knowledge to write such fine literature. This is the argument used in favour of both Edward de Vere and Francis Bacon. The same argument can be used to show that the Beatles did not write their own music (in fact this argument was used during the early 1960's); that Van Gogh never did any painting; and that Haydn was unable to compose a symphony. (All of these people had as little specialist education as Shakespeare had). The argument also shows that another great playwright of the Elizabethan era - Ben Jonson - couldn't have written his plays either. (Despite his reputation as an intellectual, Jonson was as uneducated as Shakespeare). William Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare's plays - nobody else could have.
The Starry Night is about how the earth is so insignificant (symbolized by the town) when she is looking up into the Starry Night. She is obviously depressed, but feels like there is nothing left that she needs to see and can comfortably die in the night sky. The Starry Night is Sexton's response to the famous painting by Vincent van Gogh, "Starry Night" (1889).

Van Gogh's Starry Night is an oil painting. In a letter to his brother he also drew a sketch of it, but that is seldom reproduced.
He had failed other jobs and wanted to do something useful.
Any good van Gogh painting that comes on to the market will cost extraordinary sums of money.
