Charles Burchfield, Journals, May 25, 1915

 A brilliant sunrise – day slowly & beautifully dims with haze until at late afternoon the sun, from a dim glow, suddenly vanishes and the sky becomes a haphazard smear of dapples & sandbar rhythms –

In park hear Tseerie Bird – the beauty of it!

I am always hurrying someplace at the critical point in a nature phenomena –Rain at evening –
