Behind Schedule

thisnewdayI'd allowed myself to be comforted, recently, by Hadley Richardson's description of Ernest Hemingway's literary output during their early days in Paris. (Hadley Richardson was Hemingway's first wife.)
She's quoted by Gioia Diliberto in Paris Without End where Diliberto writes, "Each evening, Ernest read Hadley everything he had written. His daily output was usually small. Sometimes, 'there was just one line that he could hold on to,' she said."
Then, it occurred to me. Ernest'd had his fame, and committed suicide, by the time he was 61. I'm clearly behind schedule...
