the earth moved. “Did the earth move for you?” These jok- ing words said to one’s lover after sex were apparently invented or popularized by Ernest Hemingway in For Whom The Bell Tolls (1940) when he has Maria say to Robert Jordan, “ ‘Did the earth never move for thee before?’ ‘Never,’ he said truly.” For Whom The Bell Tolls itself comes from a sermon by John Donne: “No man is an Iland intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent . . . And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.” |
