Homewards – Singing of telegraph; luminous horizon – light spot in sky -; I imagined I had gone out in the summer sketching, + stayed out all night to see themorning, I saw the sun rise over a valley, before me a splashing waterfall – The town throws a light on the sky, which lights up the dusty road –
