In the Ernest Hemingway story, an old man went fishing for a big swordfish in a small boat. He caught it, but most of the swordfish was eaten by sharks on the way home. It's kinda like Herman Melville's Moby Dick (where Ahab went after a sperm whale and it killed him). It's about seeking a goal, and when you achieve your goal, often you find out that your victory wasn't worth the effort.
