Shamefully, I don't know the proper term for this style of language, but does anyone else simply love it? I'm almost obsessed with Fitzgerald and the like, and I love stories from that era.
"Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch our arms out further... And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." - The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
I've been intending to write something in that sort of style using that kind of language for a while, but just haven't got around to it. Has anyone around here tried?
