East – from N.E – Zenith is lt; a sacred violet light comes from above – Roofs are white – tree trunks oily; they catch light in a million projections; ground with water lying flat on top, glitters; distance is sour grey + neut green, a lt horizon; the rain is violet seen against objects -
May 5, 1917 –
A loosened morning
The west is blue black; the sun shows at times a pale flat white disk
Green apple trees against cerulian lawns -
