人群中幽然浮现的一张张脸庞， 黝黑的湿树枝上的一片片花瓣。
A Chinese imagistic poetry:
Autumn Evening crows perch on old trees wreathed with withered vine, Water of a stream flows by a family cottage near a tiny bridge.
A lean horse walks on an ancient road in western breeze, The sun is setting in the west,
The heart-broken one is at the end of the Earth.

The Great Gatsby (1925)
The Great Gatsby: plot
Jay Gatsby is a man possessed—driven by greed, ambition and, most of all, an unwavering desire for a woman he met before the Great War, when he was poor and she was unobtainable.

But when the chance finally arrives, a shadow of tragedy is cast over what Gatsby long-imagined would be his triumphant moment.
