gatsby's green light

Symbolized by a green light, the eternal optimism that Gatsby possessed is what I fall in love with over & over again.
Below is my favorite excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby'.
(Press play to hear the musical score for 'Gatsby Believed In The Green Light', where Tobey Maguire reads the text at 2:10 into the piece.)

'Gatsby believed in the green light,
the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.
It eluded us then, but that’s no matter--
tomorrow we will run faster,
stretch out our arms farther. . .
And then one fine morning--
So we beat on, boats against the current,
borne back ceaselessly into the past.'
