Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, May 7, 1922
"I've had the most wonderful afternoon - I simply shouted and was so terrified at times that I just had to hold on to Mrs. Schaufflcr... -and such masses of froth and foam rushing and rolling and booming till everything seemed to shake - spray flying way up in the air..."
