...as I sat and beheld the marvelous beauty of the earth, it seemed as tho I should not lose a single moment doing other than just filling the eye—absorbing—absorbing—that a thousand years would not be enough to get all one should out of the visual world—and how is it possible that any thought but love and worship of the Creator can enter man’s heart? How prodigal and wasteful we are of opportunities!
Charles Burchfield, October 1, 1935
