Hemingway

is well-known in the world today. To many people in the US, Hemingway was considered

as a great man and writer. The whole of his creative

work was a long struggle,

for Hemingway,

the man and the

writer, had many enemies.

Perhaps

his great enemy was war. He hated it with all his heart, with his whole body,

in which 28 bullets had left their faces.

Hemingway hated those who made a business

of war. In an introduction to his novel 'A Farewell to

Arms', Hemingway

said that wars were started by people

who profited from them, and he suggested

that those

warlike people

should be shot on the very first day of war, by sentence

of the people.

Hemingway

hated fascism.

He never surrendered.

He fought against

it with the pen and the sword.

The general

opinion abroad

is that London has fog or rain or both, every day of the year, but on the day

that I anived it was fine and warm, there was brigirt sun and a cloudless sky. The next day it was just as

beautifirl; tlere was a slight wind that gently moved the leaves

on the trees, and you could smell the spring in

the air. "Life is grand!' I thought as I walked in Kensington

Gardens.

It was a straight road and I found the way

quite easily. When I got my first sight of the gardens,

the beauty of it nearly took my breath away. The trees

were just bursting into leaf, fresh and green and lovely, and there were beds of spring flowers, red and yellow

and blue, in the beautiful, smootl grass

under the trees.

People

in the light spring clothes were walking about, and, to my surprise,

they walked not only along

the paths but also across

the grass, and no one said a word to them about it. I had never seen such a thing

before-1. What was the wealher

like on the day the writer anived in London?
