    Answer: Ernest Hemingway.
    Metallica had a song titled 'For Whom the bell tolls' in their 'Ride the lightning' album. John Donne (in the picture) had written a poem with the same title. The flag is of the second Spanish Republic. Hemingway had a book titled "For whom the bell tolls" which is set during the Spanish Civil War. Hemingway also lived in Paris ('an evening outside the Louvre').

    Connect: For Whom the Bell tolls.

    Picture 1- Album cover "Ride the Lightning" by Metallica. The song "For whom the bell tolls" is from this album.

    Picture 2 - John Donne. He was the english metaphysical poet who wrote the prose "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions". Meditation XVII, a sermon from this prose contains the phrase "for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee".

    This phrase "For whom the bell tolls" was later used as the title of a novel about the spanish civil war by Ernest Hemmingway which later proved an inspiration for the song by Metallica.

    Picture 3- Flag of the international brigades used in Spanish Civil war. The book "For whom the bell tolls" talks about the travails of an american university tutor who aligns with the International Brigades and fights in the Spanish Civil War possibly reflecting his own experiences when he served as the reporter for the North American Newspaper alliance and covered the spanish civil war.

    Hence the connect.
