Both of the webinars I listened to ended with Sam Waterston reading the last paragraphs of the book. Here is the last sentence of the book. Apparently there are different ideas, but evidently no scholar knows what Fitzgerald really meant here.
"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that is no matter----tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further. . . . And one fine morning----
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
