As I sit here I dream – My impressions are constantly growing more & more up to my ideals.
Booming white obelisk against the violet sky – sound of wind in trees – Hazy city seems like a lake – Catholic bells ringing in Little Italy.
Wind-battered yellow butterflies up against side of monument –white kites like birds – boat inching along over the distant pale green lake.
Charles E. Burchfield, June 5, 1915
