A dream:
Finding a sketch book of mine, and in it [a] superb drawing of a team of horses, hitched to a buggy, in July morning sunshine; also a drawing of a covered bridge to the north of Salem, showing a winding dirt road going east – a gray rainy day. These sketches seemed marvelous to me, and I was filled with regret over my present lack of ambition. I awoke, and was filled with the same mood.
