The eyes of J.T. Eckleburg.

"This is a valley of ashes- a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ahses take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendant effort, of ash-grey men, who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. Occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak, and comes to rest, and immediatly the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud, which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
But above the grey land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Docter T.J.Eckleburg. 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, form a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a non-existant nose. Evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there to fatten his practise in the borough of Queens, and then sank down himself into eternal blindness, or forgot them and moved away. But his eyes, dimmed a little by many pointless days, under the sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground."

How much does this echo our lives? How much greyness and bleakness sourrounds our lives because we lack morals? We live to party, and party to live. We take drugs, we get drunk, we are the social decay. I am no differant. Our lives are dominated by the need to satisfy our physical urges. I am no differant. We are judged not by ourselves, but by God. You are no differant. We live out our lives under certain ways, yet they turn greyer as each day passes, and the eyes dim even futher. Through sadness? Sadness at our waste? We are grotesque. I am no differant. We build our foundations on nothing solid, and they will crumble before our eyes. Our lack of meaning and direction, causes us to succumb even further to demoralistion. I am no differant.

Climbing out of a window rather than using the front door this morning was reather tedious..
