El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 5, Página 26
Outside
the
wind
was
loud
and
there
was
a
faint
flow
of
thunder
along
the
Sound.
All
the
lights
were
going
on
in
West
Egg
now;
the
electric
trains,
men-carrying,
were
plunging
home
through
the
rain
from
New
York.
It
was
the
hour
of
a
profound
human
change,
and
excitement
was
generating
on
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
bewilderment
had
come
back
into
Gatsby’s
face,
as
though
a
faint
doubt
had
occurred
to
him
as
to
the
quality
of
his
present
happiness.
Almost
five
years!
There
must
have
been
moments
even
that
afternoon
when
Daisy
tumbled
short
of
his
dreams—not
through
her
own
fault,
but
because
of
the
colossal
vitality
of
his
illusion.
It
had
gone
beyond
her,
beyond
everything.
He
had
thrown
himself
into
it
with
a
creative
passion,
adding
to
it
all
the
time,
decking
it
out
with
every
bright
feather
that
drifted
his
way.
No
amount
of
fire
or
freshness
can
challenge
what
a
man
can
store
up
in
his
ghostly
heart.
