[Burchfield encircled this entry with red pencil to emphasize its importance.]
A bouquet of pink clover — such large blossoms as I do not remember seeing before – The odor – if it could be translated into a visual thing, would be like the rosy bloom on the sun-tanned cheek of a child.
Charles E. Burchfield, June 27, 1941
