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!

                     ~~~



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.
