The Sun Also Rises

by Ernest Hemingway

”You are all a lost generation.”

—Gertrude Stein in conversation

”One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; 
but the earth abideth forever. . . . 
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, 
and hasteth to the place where he arose. . . . 
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north;
 it whirleth about continually, and 
the wind returneth again according to his circuits. . . . 
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; 
unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.”

—Ecclesiastes
