El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 5, Página 26
Outside,
the
wind
was
loud,
and
there
was
a
faint
roll
of
thunder
along
the
Sound.
All
the
lights
were
coming
on
in
West
Egg
now;
the
electric
trains,
carrying
people,
were
rushing
home
through
the
rain
from
New
York.
It
was
the
hour
of
a
profound
human
change,
and
excitement
filled
the
air.
“One
thing’s
sure
and
nothing’s
surer
The
rich
get
richer
and
the
poor
get—children.
In
the
meantime,
In
between
time—”
As
I
went
over
to
say
goodbye,
I
saw
that
the
expression
of
confusion
had
returned
to
Gatsby’s
face,
as
if
a
faint
doubt
had
occurred
to
him
about
the
quality
of
his
present
happiness.
Almost
five
years!
There
must
have
been
moments
even
that
afternoon
when
Daisy
fell
short
of
his
dreams—not
because
of
her
own
fault,
but
because
of
the
enormous
vitality
of
his
illusion.
It
had
gone
beyond
her,
beyond
everything.
He
had
thrown
himself
into
it
with
creative
passion,
constantly
adding
to
it,
decorating
it
with
every
bright
feather
that
came
his
way.
No
amount
of
fire
or
freshness
can
compete
with
what
a
man
can
store
up
in
his
ghostly
heart.
