Fitzgerald

"There was music from my neighbor's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his two motor-boats slit the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam."

Beautiful writing makes me happy. I want to be in this scene.

  1. Fitzgerald, nice. Though most times I find it hard to relate with the social environment he describes.

  2. You obviously haven't been to a fabulously classy 20's party then... Gosh.
