1] Hemingway attaches this note to the title: "The title `Neo-Thomist Poem' refers to temporary embracing of church by literary gents -- E. H." Possibly this alludes to T. S. (Tom) Eliot.
The poem parodies Psalm 23, which begins (verses 1-3):
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
he makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

I'm not sure what to think. I could imagine Hemingway would not be the same category of human as Eliot. I imagine being a bitter realistic man of action such piety must have struck him as odd. As I misreading it? Any comments?
