the detail that carries everything: the child who doesn't fully understand what's happening but knows he needs his cap, the cap that belonged to his brothers before him, the cortège that leaves without him. This is what Hemingway meant. Not economy of style. Economy of trust in the reader.
Thank you for sharing this poignant story.
