Charles Burchfield, Journals, May 4, 1915

 A cool loose wet morning – yellow thunderheads in sound, mist-shot sun – Trees seem to drip with mist, blue distances – oriole.

Day steadily grows colder. Massing of black clouds at times against them the bright trees –

Desires to quit the whole art life possessed me today following two days of inane attempts –
