************** Apples and oranges. You're saying that some symbolism is unintended by the writer. The paraphrase of Hemingway doesn't deny that. It was stated that "any symbolism had to be an unplanned coincidence in good writing." There is a difference between saying that some symbolism is unintended and all symbolism in good writing must be unintended.
