"No- Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men."
I particularly liked this sentence because of it's structure- the first part is short and simplistic and the second part is complex and long. I also like some of the phrases in the sentences such as "wake of his dreams," and "short-winded elations of men."
My sentence:
Yes- we made it out with our lives intact; yet, it was our souls, the conscience that lives beyond the mortal musing of bone and sinew, that would lay forever stretched on that sacred ground that glorious and blood hungry men had died for.
