Another use of the term "moveable feast" is to mean the memory of a time or place that continues to go with a person for the rest of his or her life, after the experience is over. Ernest Hemingway used the title A Moveable Feast for his memoirs of his early life as a struggling writer in Paris in the 1920s. He said to a friend: "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."What are your "moveable feasts"? What memories of other times or experiences stay with you and colour what your "present time"?
