Then, the poet argues that due to the fleeting nature of fame and glory, the lad is fortunate to have his life end at its apex, rather than suffer through a slow decline in which he witnesses his youthful glory fade. Then, the writer discusses how Housman might have perceived the death of Gatsby in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
