A Moveable Feast. Ernest Hemingway

1. Read the text again.

You got very hungry when you did not eat enough in Paris because all the bakery shops had such good things in the windows and people ate outside at tables on the sidewalk so that you saw and smelled the food. When you had given up journalism and were writing nothing that anyone in America would buy, explaining at home that you were lunching out with someone, the best place to go was the Luxembourg Gardens where you saw and smelled nothing to eat all the way from the Place de l'Observatoire to the rue de Vaugirard. There you could always go into the Luxembourg Museum and all the paintings were sharpened and clearer and more beautiful if you were belly-empty, hollow-hungry. I learned to understand Cezanne much better and to see truly how he made landscapes when I was hungry. I used to wonder if he were hungry too when he painted; but I thought possibly it was only that he had forgotten to eat. It was one of those unsound but illuminating thoughts you have when you have been sleepless or hungry. Later I thought Cezanne was probably hungry in a different way.

After you came out of the Luxembourg you could walk down the narrow rue Ferou to the Place St-Sulpice and there were still no restaurants, only the quiet square with its benches and trees. There was a fountain with lions, and pigeons walked on the pavement and perched on the statues of the bishops. There was the church and there were shops selling religious objects and vestments on the north side of the square. From this square you could not go farther towards the river without passing shops selling fruits, vegetables, wines, or bakery and pastry shops. But by choosing your way carefully you could work to your right around the grey and white stone church and reach the rue de l'Odeon and turn up to your right towards Sylvia Beach's bookshop and on your way you did not pass too many places where things to eat were sold. The rue de l'Odeon was bare of eating places until you reached the square, where there were three restaurants.

By the time you reached 12 rue de l'Odeon your hunger was contained but all of your perceptions were heightened again. The photographs looked different and you saw books that you had never seen before.

'You're too thin, Hemingway,' Sylvia would say. 'Are you eating enough?'

'Sure.'

'What did you eat for lunch?'

My stomach would turn over and I would say, 'I'm going home for lunch now.'

'At three o'clock?'

'I didn't know it was that late.'

'Adrienne said the other night she wanted to have you and Hadley for dinner. We’d ask Fargue. You like Fargue, don't you? Or Larbaud. You like him. I know you like him. Or anyone you really like. Will you speak to Hadley?'

'I know she'd love to come.'

'I'll send her a pneu. Don't you work so hard now that you don't eat properly.'

'I won't.'

'Get home now before it's too late for lunch.'

'They'll save it.'

'Don't eat cold food either. Eat a good hot lunch.'

'Did I have any mail?'

'I don't think so. But let me look.'

She looked and found a note and looked up happily and then opened a closed door in her desk. 'This came while I was out,' she said. It was a letter and it felt as though it had money in it. 'Wedderkop,' Sylvia said. 'It must be from Der Querschnitt. Did you see Wedderkop?'

'No. But he was here with George. He'll see you. Don't worry. Perhaps he wanted to pay you first.'

'It's six hundred francs. He says there will be more.'

'I'm awfully glad you reminded me to look. Dear Mr Awfully Nice.'

'It's damned funny that Germany is the only place I can sell anything. To him and the Frankfurter Zeitung.'

'Isn't it? But don't you worry ever. You can sell stories to Ford,' she teased me.

"Thirty francs a page. Say one story every three months in the Transatlantic. Story five pages long makes one hundred and fifty francs a quarter. Six hundred francs a year.'

'But, Hemingway, don't worry about what they bring now. The point is that you can write them.'

'I know. I can write them. But nobody will buy them. There is no money coming in since I quit journalism.'

'They will sell. Look. You have the money for one right there.'

'I'm sorry, Sylvia. Forgive me for speaking about it.'

'Forgive you for what? Always talk about it or about anything. Don't you know all writers ever talk about is their troubles? But promise me you won't worry and that you'll eat enough.'

'I promise.'

'Then get home now and have lunch.'

Outside on the rue de l'Odeon I was disgusted with myself for having complained about things. I was doing what I did of my own free will and I was doing it stupidly. I should have bought a large piece of bread and eaten it instead of skipping a meal. I could taste the brown lovely crust. But it is dry in your mouth without something to drink. You God-damn complainer. You dirty phony saint and martyr, I said to myself. You quit journalism of your own accord. You have credit and Sylvia would have loaned you money. She has, plenty of times. Sure. And then the next thing you would be compromising on something else. Hunger is healthy and the pictures do look better when you are hungry. Eating is wonderful too and do you know where you are going to eat right now?

Lipp's is where you are going to eat, and drink too.

Eating is wonderful too and do you know where you are going to eat right now?

Lipp's is where you are going to eat, and drink too.

It was a quick walk to Lipp's and every place I passed that my stomach noticed as quickly as my eyes or my nose made the walk an added pleasure. There were few people in the brasserie and when I sat down on the bench against the wall with the mirror in back and a table in front and the waiter asked if I wanted beer I asked for a distingue, the big glass mug that held a litre, and for potato salad.

The beer was very cold and wonderful to drink. The pommes a l'huile were firm and marinated and the olive oil delicious. I ground black pepper over the potatoes and moistened the bread in the olive oil. After the first heavy draught of beer I drank and ate very slowly. When the pommes a l'huile were gone I ordered another serving and a cervelas. This was a sausage like a heavy, wide frankfurter split in two and covered with a special mustard sauce.

I mopped up all the oil and all of the sauce with bread and drank the beer slowly until it began to lose its coldness and then I finished it and ordered a demi and watched it drawn. It seemed colder than the distingue and I drank half of it.

I had not been worrying, I thought. I knew the stories were good and someone would publish them finally at home. When I stopped doing newspaper work I was sure the stories were going to be published. But every one I sent out came back.

Then I started to think in Lipp's about when I had first been able to write a story after losing everything. It was up in Cortina d'Ampezzo when I had come back to join Hadley there after the spring skiing which I had to interrupt to go on assignment to the Rhineland and the Ruhr. It was a very simple story called Out of Season and I had omitted the real end of it which was that the old man hanged himself. This was omitted on my new theory that you could omit anything if you knew that you omitted and the omitted part would strengthen the story and make people feel something more than they understood.

Well, I thought, now I have them so they do not understand them. There cannot be much doubt about that. There is most certainly no demand for them. But they will understand the same way that they always do in painting. It only takes time and it only needs confidence.

It is necessary to handle yourself better when you have to cut down on food so you will not get too much hunger-thinking. Hunger is good discipline and you learn from it.

And as long as they do not understand it you are ahead of them. Oh sure, I thought, I'm so far ahead of them now that I can't afford to eat regularly. It would not be bad if they caught up a little.

I knew I must write a novel

Projects

1. Walk through the streets of Paris after Hemingway. Follow his route. Make a video about the past and present of this part of the city.

2. Make a film about French quisine and eating habits. Compare it with any other national quisine. Think how eating habits reflect ethnic mentality, if at all.

3. In his book Hemingway mentions that Sezanne, a famous French Impressionist, suffered from hunger and was not recognized by the public. There were many other painters, poets and writers who experienced the same hardships. Make a comparative study of their lives.
