F. Scott Fitzgerald, from ‘The Great Gatsby’
His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God.
dear gil,
posting this in answer to your question. if you can resist a book with the line “forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath,” - you ain’t the person I think you is.
(for what it’s worth, my dad insists that Tender is the Night is head and shoulders above Gatsby. start with Gatsby, though, I think.)
