further and further
into herself,
so that he gave up,
and only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away,
trying to touch what was no longer tangible,
struggling unhappily, undespairingly, towards that lost voice across the room."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

I have recently come to appreciate F. Scott Fitzgerald's brilliance as a writer. I need to re-read The Great Gatsby because I read it when I was too young to appreciate his prose.
this quote is perfect.
