Can't get enough of Papa

"There is no use writing anything that has been written before unless you can beat it."
-- Ernest Hemingway, "Monologue to the Maestro," Esquire, October 1935

I'm reading "Byline: Ernest Hemingway: Selected Articles and Dispatches of Four Decades." Once you start to read it, you cannot stop even though you may want to. You have to go on and on, even though you are tired, because the words keep coming and you must follow them. And when you write, you will write like this, even when you do, you will realize the old man has beaten you again.
