The night before – a dream of a village east of Buffalo, like a remembrance out of my childhood – strange interesting house, and gnarled cedars. Going out into Buffalo, the eastern suburbs unchanged for years while the rest of Buffalo advanced. In a school room the children used china trays for water-color painting which were enameled with designs of fishes in color.
