Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Overhanging Cloud in July, 1947-59; watercolor on paper, 39 1/2 x 25 1/2 inches; Whitney Museum of American Art
Reading in my journal of June and July 1915 – The rhapsodic utterings of that period expressive of my pure unattached joy in a marvelous world, fills me now with unutterable sadness and longing – almost of terror. Could I but once again walk in those lush meadows of wonder.
Charles E. Burchfield. July 9. 1932
