Blackout: The Great Gatsby #1

A blackout poem using the final page of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.

Text of the poem:

I wandered the beach
and
the shadowy
moon
that
had
pandered to
enchanted man

sat brooding on the known world
I
had come
to
close
that
vast obscurity of
night.

the future
that
to-morrow will
be borne
in the past. — Blackout Poem from The Great Gatsby
