    I thank everyone who has joined thus far.
    What automatically came to my mind was a couple excited to have a baby. They bought shoes and other baby stuff like a lot of expecting couples do, and something happens which causes the wife to have a miscarriage. And for some reason they are unable to have anymore kids, so the unworn shoes is a symbol of the future that they are never going to have.

    I am interested to hear everyone else's automatic interpretation.

    When I read that story by Hemingway, almost every idea that comes to my mind carries something pessimistic. It is great that your interpretation is at least partly cloudy.

    Well written, but doesn't make any.
    The worst feeling in the world isn't loneliness, it's being forgotten by someone you can't forget.

    They blinked, and everything was gone.
    "I’ve tasted all the sweetest creams
    and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
    sunny skies pervade my dreams
    and light the dark of earthly scenes..."

    They wept under love's oppression, gladly.
