This Week’s Cover
- The painter wanted to feel what the world feels on Christmas Eve. But that was weeks ago, and the mood did not seem to be abroad in the land. In Korea the hills were running red, and at home the fever of politics bred ill will among men. So the painter went into a little church in a little town called Greenfield Hill. The choir was rehearsing, and the mood the man sought was in their singing. Then he went up into the church tower, where he stood for a long while beside the old bell, watching nightfall touch the Connecticut hills like a benediction. In the sky shone one especially bright star. From it came the thought: There is a specially bright star every night—men do not have to wait for Christmas Eve. Then Doan’s hand was ready to paint.
