Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, April 22, 1915

Cool wet wind in window – flying curtains – rain – robins –

Loose windy morning – walk to Villa – salmon spot at times in eastern sky; poplar catkins coat the grounds like worms that are brought forth by the earliest warm shower – trees dotted with yellow green – every tree is budding – weeping willows masses of wind waving film – rainy sky rainy wind – bristling buckeyes – Noon – shower — rain streaking thru (sic) green budded trees – blue haze –

At Library – Delving into Mythology – Run across ancient Aryan beliefs – A delight to the imagination – If we could only look on nature with their fearful eyes!

All afternoon the warm wind whistles thru (sic) the filmy trees – slanting poplar bloom – Rain dashing in the faces – piling of black clouds against them green elms – swift wind – peach trees a mass of pink; yellow bushes; green shrubbery seen thru (sic) screen of startle black locusts –
