The Great Gatsby Preface?

What is the meaning??





"Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;


If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,


Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,


I must have you!"


-Thomas Parke D'Invilliers|||The poem contains absurd advice to a man who is in love with a woman -- in particular, that he ought to wear a fancy hat and bounce around in order to impress her so much that she will fall in love with him. The point is that, try as you may, you can't impress someone into loving you.|||Be yourself.|||check if its here:

To persevere and try to win her with all the weapons you can gather and if she says jump you jump. I think "Gatsby" planned his whole endeavour to gain riches by any means at all (illegal??) to win Daisy (from an upper class family with money). He wanted to measure up to her high(????) standards. He was totally zeroed in on her and her only - he had purity of thought in this regard and did everything he could do to get her attention.|||Do what you have to do to be seen and or noticed in the eyes of the person who's attention you seek. Whether you have to do something out of the norm or look silly doing it... do what you must if you know that the other person will notice it and if they don't then try something else. And when that person starts to notice all the things you have done they will fall for you.
