A dream –
Of finding a very early sketch of mine, an attempt to represent a child’s impression of a “choo-choo–” train.
As I examined it, it suddenly expanded and became life-size, and then the actual scene before me, yet retaining its mythical imaginative character.
Charles E. Burchfield, September 20, 1945
