"The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic - their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose.... But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground" (2.1-20)
Fascinating, thanks for this
Great video and interesting too. Thank you, Jeff

"Unlike Gatsby and Tom Buchanan I had no girl whose disembodied face floated along the dark cornices and blinding signs and so I drew up the girl beside me, tightening my arms. Her wan, scornful mouth smiled and so I drew her up again, closer, this time to my face." - end of ch.4
Joe would be excited.
