“And as I walked on I was lonely no longer. I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler... and so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
