Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, January 18, 1917

Night walk over luminous fields – a wild wind out of SW – luminous zenith – I entered Post’s woods fascinated by its awfulness; but fled away in terror; as I had looking where nothing was two stumps suddenly appeared; the black north was awful –

I watched an elm tree a star slowly shown forth & suddenly disappeared – what wonders the passing sky holes revealed! (red star doodle) 
This was a full day –
