Note to recorder:

Ernest Hemingway.Short Stories . Numitor Comun Publishing. Kindle

It was not fear or dread. It was a nothing that he knew too well. It was all a nothing and a man was nothing too. It was only that and light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order. Some lived in it and never felt it but he knew it all was nada y pues nada y nada y pues nada. Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee. He smiled and stood before a bar with a shining steam pressure coffee machine. “What’s yours?” asked the barman. “Nada.” “Otro loco m ás,” said the barman and turned away. “A little cup,” said the waiter.

"Nada" is the Spanish word for "nothing"
"Otro loco más" = "Another crazy one" in Spanish

Sorry, I don't speak Spanish. .^_^. This part "Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada" is the Lord's prayer; a standard prayer for Christians.

And I'm not Catholic but I believe "Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee. " is the first line of the Hail Mary, I Catholic prayer.
