Charles Burchfield, Song of the Telegraph Pole, 1917-1952
Watercolor, painted
“Listen long to the singing of the telegraph poles. It sounds more weird and beautiful by moonlight… Each pole has a distinct tone. A steady throbbing sound — the poles, once trees, still are full of life which is expressed in this pulsating sound. Seems a voice from the center of the earth.” — Charles Burchfield, Salem, August 4, 1914
“A new motif that gives me great pleasure and which just seems to grow on its own accord was a black cloud in the form of a cawing crow, soaring above the woods to the left, and heading due north. It symbolized for me the old yearning of boyhood for the northlands, beyond the covered bridge, evoked by the elemental call of crows. The part most likely to give trouble will be the telegraph line itself; it is easy to invent a multitude of symbols to represent the humming of a telegraph pole, but just because it is easy, therein lies the danger of overdoing it.” — Charles Burchfield’s journals, Gardenville, April 9, 1948
