Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, July 4, 1914

Heavy fog envelopes the whole earth. Coming along at pine hollow our first sight of the sun is the golden spot its rays make in the fog. We soon see the sun himself, a rose gold glow in the sky.

One of the most beautiful things about fog is that it eliminates the horizon. The sky melts into white mists at our feet….

A fog is one of the most harmonizing elements in nature. Our clothing becomes white. The fog, beginning to solidify, falls as a fine spray slanted by a delicate breeze.
