Aciman and Hemingway

Breezy button-up shirts. Linen pants and shorts. Ray-bans. Hot summer afternoons. Cool mornings. Sunlight reflecting like glitter off the sea. Tree limbs bending under the weight of apricots. Sipping cafes au lait under an awning along a Paris street. A leather bound notebook and pencil on a marble tabletop. Loafers. Striped shirts. New leaves of bright green. Ancient Greek statues made of marble. Soft curves and curls. A picnic blanket over thick green grass. Wicker basket with ceramic dishes. Clover flowers. Buzzing bees. A rabbit in the shade of a bush nearby. Chit-chat. Empty village squares. Melting gelato. The clopping of horseshoes on cobblestones. Wandering aimlessly around a quiet museum. Vivaldi. Old books. Classical piano. Linen curtains flowing through open French doors. A balcony overlooking a lake. Looking away and smiling. Quick, consuming glances. Balmy evenings at the horse race. Brandy.
