Red Light, Green Light

[rinue]

When I read The Great Gatsby, bearing in mind that Nick is not an omnicient narrator and can only guess at what is going on in anyone's head, I like to think that when Gatsby spends his evenings looking fixedly at the green light across the bay, it isn't about Daisy: he just likes the look of that green light. Because I for one like colored lights and would do that.

My brain went off on some tangent about colour blindness and Gatsby being a dog and then I realised that neither of those things has anything to do with green lights. But, still.

I'd be more about the wave crests than the light itself, but yes. Yes indeed.
