1. A moveable feast - Ernest Hemingway
The description of Paris, the streets, the little warm cafe's. Hemingway's coffee and grappa, the wine, the oysters, the smell and taste of the brown pears.
If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.
Ernest Hemingway
"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans."
Ernest Hemingway, 'A Moveable Feast'
