Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, January 24, 1942

Jan. 24 – (Saturday) –

            To Buffalo at late P.M. To harbor, to look around – Then up town to get the feel of twilight settling down over the city. The Elm-Sycamore neighborhood – people going home, the lights from the downtown section. –

            The fellow + girl hesitating on the sidewalk, discussing something I had to wait a moment for the girl to step aside – Later as I was getting in the car, she called to me, as they came along – “I’m sorry I didn’t get out of your way quicker mister – I wasn’t thinking”!

            Evening Toscanini concert.
