“Blood is thicker than water,”

“Blood is thicker than water,”
The young man said
As he knifed his friend
For a drooling old bitch
And a house full of lies.”
― Ernest Hemingway, 88 Poems

“Please do it your own way.

“Please do it your own way.
Do it in the mornings when your mind is cold
Do it in the evenings when everything is sold.
Do it in the springtime when springtime isn’t there
Do it in the winter
We know winter well
Do it on very hot days
Try doing it in hell.
Trade bed for a pencil
Trade sorrow for a page
No work it out your own way
Have good luck at your age.”
― Ernest Hemingway, 88 Poems

“The Lord is my shepherd

“The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want him for long
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
and there are no green pastures
He leadeth me beside still waters
and still waters run deep”
― Ernest Hemingway, 88 Poems
