great gatsby & dark lady sonnets

Dark Lady 129.1-4

• The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
• Is lust in action; and till action, lust
• Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
• Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust;

Dark lady 146.1-2, 4, 6

• Poor soul the centre of my sinful earth,
• My sinful earth these rebel powers array;
• Painting the outward walls so costly gay,
• Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend?

dark lady 146.7-8, 13-14

• Shall worms inheritors of this excess
• Eat up thy charge? Is this thy body's end
• So shall thou feed on death, that feeds on men,
• And death once dead, there's no more dying then.

The Great Gatsby, 40-41

• "In his blue gardens men and girls came
• and went like moths among the whisperings
• and the champagne and the stars...The 
• lights grow brighter as the earth lurches
• away from the light."
