The Great Gatsby
Prohibition
"All night the saxophones wailed the hopeless comment of the 'Beale St. Blues' while a hundred pairs of golden and silver slippers shuffled the shining dust. At the gray tea hour there were always rooms that throbbed incessantly with this low, sweet fever, while fresh faces drifted here and there like rose petals blown by the sad horns around the floor."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
