Charles Burchfield, Journals, April 13, 1915

A brilliant sun-shot day. Cold wind, deep blue sky, sparkling air, trees gleaming in blinding colors against sky.

Sketching in park at noon. Flickers calling.

So it is all day.

Evening to Symphony Concert – Wagner’s Prelude & Love Death from Tristan & Isode (sic); Funeral March from Siegfried; Immolation of Brunhilde from Die Gotterdammerung – all that remain out of eight numbers –

Immediately after the concert I would like to have gone and sat down by Sunday evening’s stormy lake –
