Rating:  - Hemingway
It is no secret that Ernest Hemingway went to Italy in 1918 with a volunteer ambulance unit, was wounded in the leg, and had an affair with one of the nurses (Agnes Von Kurowsky) while recovering in a hospital.

Rating:  - You are so right: Dr. P. Verheyen
Its just really a deep analyse of the dream in Ernest his life.
I agree agree totally with Dr. Verheyen:
Hemingway and (the false) Agnes in projection of real life!.
Romance of oné site (Ernest Hemingway anyway).
I am doctorating in psychology in beautiful Rome: Italy.
I live back in New York City (after my doctorating?).

As a Dr. in Psychology, I can antherstand Hemingway and obvious Agnes. I suppose this romance was to beautiful to hold stand!. Anyway I antherstand 1961( Ernest did suicide WITH Agnes her letters next to him) AFTER 4 TRYING? to forget Agnes! MARRIAGE'S. This prover real eternity love exists, only both have to FORGIVE, and that's the hard way (I do know personnell). They were really made for each other, sad, so sad: stubborn Ernie and WHY?. Dr. Patrick Verheyen (U.S. Graduated ;-).
