A Letter*

a) letter that Gatsby might have sent to Daisy while he was fighting in World War I:

The letter said:
“Hello, my dearest Daisy!
I’m terribly sorry for not writing you a line for so long. You know, I was hurt that you didn’t come to say goodbye, when I was leaving overseas… But now it’s all gone and I can’t restrain myself anymore… I miss your bright sparkling eyes, your delicate odour of orchids and your lovely cooing to my ears so much! I recollected every day and night those beautiful and happiest hours we spent together! Do you remember that evening in the car?.. Here, on the battlefield, I reconstruct in my mind every moment that we’d enjoyed together… How are you, my beloved one? Is everything all right? Are you and your folks in good health? Oh, if you would imagine what’s happening to me when I’m retaining your jingling voice, the cymbal’s song of it!.. But I’m writing not only to apologize and to tell you that I remember everything or to describe my hardships here, but I hasten to let you know that I’m going to get demobilized soon and right after that I’ll come to you...”
She didn’t finish reading. She crumpled the letter with trembling arms. Then unfold and look through it once again. While reading, her eyes were filling with tears… Then Jordan came...
(and the story goes on in the book)

I'm alive*

Just for you to know that I'm not dead :)
Now I'm all in futuristic movement studies (my term paper on this topic is to come soon), but it's important not to forget about T.Williams! I don't. I remember :)
