Ernest Hemingway
Spring, People, Limits
Ernest Hemingway (2014). “Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition”, p.50, Simon and Schuster

You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.

Ernest Hemingway
Spring, Rain, Fall

Ernest Hemingway (2014). “Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition”, p.64, Simon and Schuster

Ernest Hemingway
Morning, Spring, Rain
Ernest Hemingway (2014). “Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition”, p.50, Simon and Schuster

I loved her and I loved no one else and we had a lovely magic time while we were alone. I worked well and we made great trips, and I thought we were invulnerable again, and it wasn't until we were out of the mountains in late spring, and back in Paris, that the other thing started again.

Ernest Hemingway
Spring, Paris, Lovely
Ernest Hemingway (1996). “A Moveable Feast”, p.169, Simon and Schuster
