A walk under the icy wind moon—I danced in the fields. I was thinking of music that was so wonderful [that] the hearers forgot where they were, or that it was music & when it was ended, they were still carried on & on into strange realms—Music showing the birth of the frail spring beauty from one of these icy windy moonlight nights.
Charles E. Burchfield, February 1, 1917
