Two Literary References in Hemingway Stories
"Full fathom
five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made,
Those are pearls that were his
eyes,
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change,
into something rich and strange,
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell,
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them, ding-dong,
bell."
--Shakespeare, Ariel’s Song in
The Tempest
Vice is a monster of so frightful
mien
As to be hate needs but to be
seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with
her face,
We first endure, then pity, then
embrace.
--Alexander Pope, from The Essay
on Man
