Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, May 6, 1915

Impression of morning – green air, bright sunlight, copious wren & yellowbird –

Noon to school – booming white clouds in a blue sky brilliant sunshine, deep bristling grass; balls of white dandelion down, black cool shadows under yellow green trees;

Great calm at sundown –

Evening walking down Boulevard to Lake with Kaiser – We were out of tune and the walk was unprofitable as far as each other were concerned –

I would like to become as much a part of the mysterious lake as I am of the hills & woods.

Charles E. Burchfield, May 6, 1915
