Gatsby’s green light as an inner tube

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . And then one fine morning —

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
