Correct on Hemingway, incorrect on the second (I had to look that up, never read Lolita and believe it is part of the quote
“It was love at first sight, at last sight, and at ever and ever sight”.
Based on a quick internet lookup, I don’t understand that to be the first line of Lolita)
The second which I was proposing is a complete sentence
“It was love at first sight.”
