Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, Vol. 26, June 21, 1915

Awake at 5:00 – weird yellow salmon cloud rhythms in sky– To Three trees — Sun boils forth yellow in a streaked drab sky – Meadowlarks silvery notes ascend with the light – remote cawing of crow; wind in a clattering poplar– roosters crowing from blue hazy distances, cows lowing–
Silver haze all morning –
Noon– wind from east – dappled sky–
Afternoon dark, cool wind – evening sunburst – copious song of catbird– earth lit up with lurid yellow light from above – Robin sings lustily—
At morning fierce wind-whistle in upper air—
