The game’s afoot; Follow your spirit: and upon this charge, Cry — God for #Harry! #England and #SaintGeorge!” ― William Shakespeare, Henry V. (You travel, you get lost and you make new friends along the way… #Treviso is really beautiful. And the pink #Dolomites are waiting for us tomorrow!) 🚡🎿 #verytroubledchild #TheDarjeelingBag #irishgreyhound #greyhound
‘Wake up, son,’ he had said. ‘Turn her around and take that road towards #Treviso. We don’t need a map on this part. I’ll give you the turns.’ ACROSS THE RIVER AND INTO THE TREES by ERNEST HEMINGWAY, 1952. (Day trip to #Treviso, today. A little gem of a city, just a 30 min drive from Venice) 🌴🐘🌴#verytroubledchild #TheDarjeelingBag
For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee! #Hamlet, Act 1 Scene 3 (Still freezing here in #Venice… Happy Holidays My Friends!) #verytroubledchild #TheDarjeelingBag 🌴🐘🌴
Owner Giuseppe #Cipriani remembers that #Hemingway became a fixture in the bar ‘during the long cold winter of 1949 – 50’ where he divided his time between ‘the Inn on #Torcello, the #Gritti and Harry’s Bar, where he had a table in the corner.’ Hemingway is said to have been the first person to order a #Montgomery at Harry’s Bar. This very dry Dry Martini, mixed to the proportion of 15 parts gin to 1 part dry Vermouth, is named after (the British) Field Marshal Montgomery who liked to have a 15 to 1 ratio of his own troops to enemy troops on the battlefield. Harry’s Bar is world famous for the #Bellini, the white peach cocktail created by Giuseppe Cipriani in the thirties, comprising one part white peach puree to three parts Prosecco. Make sure everything is as cold as possible and only add a little sugar or syrup if the puree is too sharp. Never use yellow peaches, and don’t add any other ingredient. #verytroubledchild.com #TheDarjeelingBag #harrysbar 🍸🍹
