Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, May 7, 1922
"I've had the most wonderful afternoon - The sort of sea that Homer tried to paint - but that just can't be done -It's the first real thrill I've had that compares favorably with Texas - I just almost died - it was so wonderful - I simply shouted..."
