@[RayMan:19373] I remember a college class on 20th century lit. Someone asked the prof whether he believed that Hemingway actually intended to incorporate all the symbolism we were studying. The prof laughed, "Hemingway didn't spend his life studying this, so no!" I agree with you, the imagery is right in the face of the listener. |
