Hemingway

   "It was a nothing that he knew too well. It was all a nothing and a man was a nothing too. It was only that and light was all it needed and a certain cleanliness and order. Some lived in it and never felt it but he knew it all was nada y pues nada y nada y pues nada. Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada..."(Hemingway 146)

I believe that this passage perfectly describes A Clean Well Lighted Place a short story by Ernest Hemingway. This passage is very effective because it does a good job explain the nothingness of the mans life, which can also reflect Hemingway's feelings about his own life.
