Charles Burchfield, Journals, June 21, 1915

Awake at 5:00 – weird yellow salmon cloud rhythms in sky – To Three trees – Sun boils forth yellow in a streaked drab sky – Meadowlarks silvery notes ascend with the light – remote cawing of crow: wind in a clattering poplar – roosters crowing from blue hazy distances, cows lowing –

Silver haze all morning – Noon-wind from east – dappled sky – Afternoon dark, cool wind – evening sunburst – copious song of catbird – earth lit up with lurid yellow light from above – Robin sings lustily – At morning fierce wind-whistle in upper air –
