BREATHTAKING LYRICISM

“There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind, and as we drove away Tom was feeling the hot whips of panic. His wife and his mistress, until an hour ago secure and inviolate, were slipping away precipitately from his control. Instinct made him step on the accelerator with the double purpose of overtaking Daisy and leaving Wilson behind, and we sped along Astoria at fifty miles per hour, until, among the spidery girders of the elevated, we came in sight of the easy going blue coupe”(125).

"Your wife doesn't love you...She's never loved you. She loves me."

"She never loved you, do you hear?...She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me!" (130)

"But both of us loved each other all that time, old sport, and you didn't know. I used to laugh sometimes--to think that you didn't know" (131)

"'You never loved him.'

She hesitated. Her eyes fell on Jordan and me with a sort of appeal, as though she realized at last what she was doing--and as though she had never, all along, intended doing anything at all. But it was done now. It was too late.

'I never loved him,' she said, with perceptible reluctance.

“And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy”(49)

“’Open the whiskey, Tom,’ she ordered, ‘and I’ll make you a mint julep.”(129).

“So we drove on toward death through the cooling twilight”(136).
