Dree Hemingway's Tribute to Ernest Hemingway
There's
no denial to the fact that Ernest Hemingway was one of the most talented names
of American Literature. He was also awarded the Nobel Prize back in 1954.
His
great-granddaughter Dree Hemingway recently appeared in a photo-shoot in Numero
France that got us thinking about this paragraph in Hemingway's famous novel
'The Old Man and The Sea':
'He always thought of the sea as la mar, which is what people call her in spanish when they love her. Sometimes those who love her say bad things of her, but they are always said as though she were a woman. Some of the younger fisherman, those who used buoys as floats for their lines or had motorboats bought when the shark lovers had much money, spoke of her as el mar, which is masculine, they spoke of her as a contestant or a place or even an enemy. The old man always thought of her as feminine, as something that gave or withheld great favors. If she did wild or wicked things, it is because she could not help them. The moon affects her as it does a woman, he thought.'
