A Farewell To Arms Opening Paragraph
By Ernest Hemmingway

blue in the channels. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they
raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and

dust rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and
afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves.
