There was music from my neighbor's house through the
summer nights. ... The halls and ... verandas are gaudy
with primary colors and hair shorn in strange new ways
and shawls beyond the dreams of Castile.
There was
dancing now on the canvas in the garden. By midnight
the hilarity had increased.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
