"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we well run faster, stretch out our arms farther ... And one fine morning---
"So we beat on, boats against the current,
borne back ceaselessly into the past."
--- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
