A realistic story depicting the desire and deficiency of youth. It shows how such deficiencies are knit up with passionate energies that transcend and justify them.
A plot of a girl, Judy Jones, who resolved any affair immediately that assailed her too strongly, to a physical basis, under the magic of her physical splendor and, of a guy, Dexter, who liked her since the time he was a young boy and who had the helpless ecstasy of losing himself in her, despite knowing all her interests that were not only towards him.
“The helpless ecstasy which was opiate rather than tonic!”
The story ends in a realistic way when Dexter finds…
“The charm, passion, and even the grief he could have borne was left behind in the country of illusion, of youth, of the richness of life, where his winter dreams had flourished.”
A nice story, written by Fitzgerald.
