That secular value, moral attitude, articulated by Hemingway was mentioned positively by a writer
(Female, not as usual) on my NPR station.

Hearing the word "grace" now, I think of it in AtD, (the ending, of course) but also the definitional use when Lew understands it for the first time---after coming out the other side of the dynamite explosion---

Seen by me for the first time as a playful near-literalizing of "under pressure". 

What a genius he always is.....
