The Cover
- Vapor has been condensing in the atmosphere and is now falling in the form of drops. Mr. Moore (that is artist Earl Mayan himself) is moved to acrimony: No doubt this will continue throughout the weekend and stop early Monday morning. His neighbor (posed by Jack Fallon, a friend of Mayan’s in Huntington, Long Island) is rejoicing about April showers and their admirable effect on the flowers of May. Mother Nature is rewarding Fallon by watering his abundant new blooms herself and giving poor Moore-Mayan the works for having cut one flower and letting it get the dropsy. Why, then, on another day will she give a flowerless golfer sunshine and that night wash another man’s newly sown grass seed into the storm sewer? Because that’s life. There isn’t space to explain what life is.
