ERNEST HEMINGWAY'S REPRESSED SMOKE RINGS FANTASY ALTER-EGO........TO BE A "TYRONE POWER", AS "JAKE BARNES", BEING DRESSED IN LUXURY........

However, Ernest's terse style and Spartan vocabulary disguised his inner conflicts which only surfaced in his work in 'others' form....after July 2, 1961, the Sun did not again 'rise'.  As Laurie Anderson once asked, 'Which is more Macho?....a lightbulb or a schoolbus?'  

Standby
You're on the air
Buenos noches Senores y Senoras
Bienvenidos
La primera pregunta es: Que es mas macho, pineapple o knife?
Well, let's see
My guess is that a pineapple is more macho than a knife
Si! Correcto! Pineapple es mas macho que knife
La segunda pregunta es: Que es mas macho, lightbulb o schoolbus?
Uh, lightbulb?
No! Lo siento, Schoolbus es mas macho que lightbulb
Gracias. And we'll be back in un momento

"This tune which haunts me day and night

This tune wasn't written today.

It comes from as far away as I come,

Trawled around by a hundred thousand musicians.

One day this tune will drive me mad

A hundred times I've wanted to say why,

But it's interrupted me

It always speaks before i do

And its voice drowns out my voice...."
