Not a souvenir, but a dispatch — clipped, sunburnt, salted. Hemingway turned weather into literature: Paris rained like a lover, Havana squalls rattled shutters, Pamplona burned with dust and noon. For him, skies were not scenery but sentence, storms not backdrop but character.
To wear this line is to inherit his climate — prose that strikes like lightning, sentences pared to bone, the kind of weather that stains memory as surely as salt stains canvas. Each gust of wind, each shaft of light, is no longer passing through you; it is written upon you.
To collect this piece is to forecast yourself in his register: restless, elemental, alive. A climate of prose, heavy at times.
