Citat:
Ursprungligen postat av antiqoole
"The Sun Also Rises" skriven av Mr. Hemingway gillar jag, den svenska översättningen "Och solen har sin gång" är jag inte lika förtjust i.
Titeln är tagen från Bibeln;
The Book of Ecclesiastes (
Predikaren) kapitel 1:
2. "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."
3. What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?
4. One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.
5.
The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hurries to its place where it rises.
6. The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north. It turns around continually as it goes, and the wind returns again to its courses.
7. All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again.
8. All things are full of weariness beyond uttering. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9. That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10. Is there a thing of which it may be said, "Behold, this is new?" It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.
11. There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, among those that shall come after.
Det var Hemingways förläggare som valde titeln
The Sun Also Rises. Hemingway gav boken titeln
Fiesta, vilket den fick heta i England.
Jag har faktiskt försökt låna Håll käften och var söt vid ett flertal tillfällen men den är alltid utlånad. Det är antagligen andra danska författarinnor som ständigt lånar den för att de skäms så.
