There are never any suicides in the quarter among people one knows <br />No successful suicides. <br />A Chinese boy kills himself and is dead. <br />(they continue to place his mail in the letter rack at the Dome) <br />A Norwegian boy kills himself and is dead. <br />(no one knows where the other Norwegian boy has gone) <br />They find a model dead <br />alone in bed and very dead. <br />(it made almost unbearable trouble for the concierge) <br />Sweet oil, the white of eggs, mustard and water, soap suds <br />and stomach pumps rescue the people one knows. <br />Every afternoon the people one knows can be found at the café.<br /><br />Ernest Hemingway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/montparnasse/
