Yesterday the summer Solstice but for several days before and after it always seems like the actual day.
Hot, humid weather – a feeling of the perpetual steaming days of half rain & sunlight _ rank vegetation that are supposed to be characteristic of the early days of this planet – I feel strongly the glory and power of a full-blooded life.
Charles E. Burchfield, June 23, 1929
