This is an original 1924 two-color cover for The Youth's Companion magazine, July 31, 1924, that features a quote by American poet Nancy Byrd Turner (1880-1971), from her poem entitled, Sermonette, that reads; "Sometimes when things turn upside down and inside out and look dark brown I rush outdoors and gaze into the topless sky's eternal blue, so calm and cool, so still and deep, with soft contented clouds like sheep. I shade my eyes and stare and stare, then go back in the house, and there begin to wonder and to doubt what I was in a stew about."
