"There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams – not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart."

This is an excerpt from the novel " the Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" was published in 1925. Set in 1922, it is a story about a man called Jay Gatsby, and his neighbors and friends from the fictional neighborhoods of East and West Egg.

The narrator of the story is Nick, Gatsby's neighbor who arranges him to reunite with his ex-girlfriend (also Nick's cousin), Daisy. What Nick realizes in this excerpt is that Gatsby, having thought about Daisy for five years while they were not together, idolized her. He created a perfect version of Daisy in his head, while, in person, she turned out to be a completely different person, even more so because she got married and had a child.
