Charles E. Burchfield's Dreams, Journals, April 28, 1938

A dream last night. We had a new home on a bare round hill; to the south west was the Salem country as it appears from the top of the “Dutchman’s” Hill, and on it was a group of farm buildings lit up in the horizontal light of the northeast dawn of late June. I wish I could reveal some of the wonder of this scene.

Again - it was early morning; I was out by the garage, which contrary to fact was lying east & west, with doors at both ends; it had rained torrents in the night, and the floods had washed sand and silt around the car. The sky was overcast, rain commencing to fall. Low in the southeast an opening in the clouds revealed a yellow lit sky. All at once the light vanished, as an electric light is turned off, and lightning began to flash.
