Excerpt from The Country Boy Farmer Hemingway draped his lean body over the barnyard gate and gazed expectantly down the main road towards the lake. At a respectful distance from Farmer Hemingway's heavy boots, a gaunt black sow and her puny black nurslings grunted in various keys of impatience. The black sow kept a ravenous eye on an ear of corn, which protruded, big, yellow and tempting, from the rear pocket of the farmer's overalls. The ten runts manoeuvred for position along her flanks as she moved uneasily to and fro. It was a perfect morning in mid-autumn, a morning fit to charm the hearts of pigs and men from temptations of hunger and avarice. Clear up to the turquoise horizon rolled pasture and stubble-field, dotted with white farmhouses. Here and there the low hills were crowned with woodland, where brilliant ochres and deep purples blended softly under the yellow rays of the October sun, already some hours high. A smell of baked earth rose to the nostrils. Across the road a flock of red-winged blackbirds wheeled and lighted in the meadow with great chattering.
