Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Winter Sun, 1961; watercolor on paper, 17 x 13 1/2 inches; Image from the Burchfield Penney Art Center Archives
The S. E. wind blew all night –
Now at noon, a wet wind from S.W.
Dirty sinking snow; sky white around edge of houses; zenith dark; sparrows chattering – crowing of roosters –
