Rebecca West
“So I went out alone into a soft day, with the dispelled winter lurking above in high dark clouds under which there ran quick fresh currents of air, and broken shafts of insistent sunshine that spread a grey clarity of light in which every colour showed sharp and strong.:”
Rebecca West, The Return of the Soldier

Ernest Hemingway
“You ought to write, he told himself. Maybe you will again some time.”
Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls
