Try translating "Eckleburg" into English from it's colloquial Dutch some time.

I'd suggest he simply be ignored.

"Gatsby is a kind of T. J. Eckleburg; he has created a god like image of himself, but the image is doomed- the dream will turn to dust- and like Eckleburg, Gatsby also has occasion to brood over the ashes of the past, over the solemn dumping ground of worn out hopes"

Quite fitting for the old girl.

Nice. This from someone whose handle is "muawiyah."
