ERNEST HEMINGWAY REMAINS A DAMNED GOOD WRITER
Hemingway wrote as if he always felt the tip of the iceberg was enough to be seen. The readers imagination and knowledge would do the rest.
His 4th wife, Mary Welsh Hemingway wrote a very kind and diplomatic book about their lives together. It was called " How It Was". It was Mary that called this top of the iceberg Hemingway "dandy".
The works of Hemingway deserve to be re-visited yet again as there was, as he said in his Nobel Prize winning speech, more to him that meets the eye.

As for the mysterious Antiprank it seems that a slight suspicion of jealosy is displayed there.
As for the others...? ... well what did you expect from the Bliarite education, education, education.
Well, I watched the dismal Scotland team at a local hostelry.
Best quip of the night was ; 'you think we've got it bad, spare a thought for the poor fans over there paying 7 quid a pint as well'.
Jealous? Moi? No, I don't dig all that faux macho pose of Hemingway's, insightful though he is about bullfighting and cognate matters.
What was the saying?
'Go back and teach'em'
I don't know why So-So allows these amators on these boards.
No, no, no.
It was "Put it up'em" if i remember well enough to survive another day.
