How’s this for a great simile on Venice?: “The Adriatic sea standing grey and yellow, like a fairy-city”
* A Movable Feast (his last work)
(“damaged wings and love of light”)

“Writing is a lonely life…but when a writer writes, he sheds his loneliness, he does his work himself… and must face his eternity… alone.”
Ernest Hemingway
