"...till gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes, a fresh green breast of the new world." -F. Scott Fitzgerald
I've always loved this book. To me, it's American literature coming into its own, finally separated from the Old World and idealizing, memorializing, or imitating Europe. You've brought the ideas and messages in it to a new level. Very good.
