What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

— Only the monstrous anger of the guns.

Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle

Can patter out their hasty orisons…

– Wilfred Owen

    I’ve seen and heard nothing about Hemingway having a shadow writer? He was certainly a drunk and not entirely a good person, even for his time.

      Wait until you find out who shakespear’s shadow writer was.

      It’s actually historically very common. Most of the “classics” had them.

        Where do u get this nonsense ? There’s no hard evidence for ghost writer theory and not much evidence at all.

        Scholars have said such a theory is highly improbable

      Never heard that about Hemingway, but I have heard that about Tennessee Williams. Maybe they’re confusing the two?
