Contrast to gatsbys death? ‘Well suppose we take…’
A plunge in the swimming pool - there for display
Weather symbolic of daisy? ‘The day agreed…’
Upon was pouring rain
Gatsbys wealth? ‘And gatsby, in a flannel suit…’
Silver shirt and gold coloured tie
Attempt to freeze time?
Defunct mantelpiece clock
Attempt to catch time/ repeat past? ‘Where upon he turned…’
And caught it with his trembling fingers
Length of time? ‘Five…’
Years next November
Relationship at centre of universe? ‘But in the new silence…’
I felt that silence had fallen within the house too…’
Daisy as a flower/beauty? ‘feudal silhouette…gardens…’
Sparkling odour of jonquils…plum blossoms
Reality not matching dream? Antagonist? ‘now in the reaction…’
He was running down like an overwound clock
reminder of corruption?
When the phone rang
