The Cover
- Let us visualize poor John Clymer chained to his easel in Connecticut. Is he aflame with creative fever? No, with spring fever. Aflame with the inclination to be three thousand miles away from himself, up in the big Western hills of his boyhood. Up in the empty, soundless highland, where an ancient log cabin dreams among the firs at the end of a dying road. Well, that is not Clymer standing there in the water mirror with the fish rod, and that is not his youngster being played with by the perky chipmunks. Yet he is there; he flew there on the magic carpet of memory. And when he got back, he felt like a new man, especially when he found that somebody had painted this cover. Poor John Clymer, chained to his easel in Connecticut.
