Notes About The Poem

Both men had huge egos. Ernest Hemingway was a war correspondent and novelist who wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Oscar Wilde was an Irish playwright and poet who wrote The Importance of Being Earnest.

Hemingway and Wilde

Once for whom the bell tolls did exist
the playwright and the war journalist.
  Wilde had an ego that’s true
  but Hemingway always knew
the importance of being Ernest!
