In a book on writing by Wallace Stegner, he quotes Hemingway:

"A writer finds rain (by which he (Hemingway) means reality) to be made of knowledge, experience, wine, bread, oil, salt vinegar, bed, early mornings, nights, days, the sea, men, women, dogs, beloved motor cars, bicycles, hills and valleys, the appearance and disappearance of trains on straight and curved tracks...cock grouse drumming on a basswood log, the smell of sweet grass and fresh smoked leather and Sicily."
