Bolero by The Boy Who Held His Breath

"So I went to Spain to see bullfights and to try to write about them for myself.I thought they would be simple and barbarous and cruel and that I would not like them, but that I would see certain definite action which would give me the feeling of life and death that I was working for. I found the definite action; but the bullfight was so far from simple and I liked it so much that it was much too complicated for my then equipment for writing to deal with and...I was not able to write anything about it for five years."

- Ernest Hemingway, Death In The Afternoon
