Nick is
describing the first time Jay saw Daisy which is when he was looking at the
green light across the body of water. He would describe her as beautiful,
elegant, and almost as royalty with the way she would present herself to other
people. He is saying that the green light represents what daisy is to Jay and
how it can blind him just like she can blind him with her beauty. She can leave
him unaware of the events that are going on around him that actually end up
killing him in the end. He is connecting Jay with the sailors because they both
loved this light and were pioneers of this time. They were all ahead of the
rest of the people but in the end colonizing a foreign area turned out to be
harder for the sailors than they had originally thought. This is how Nick
describes Gatsby and the Green light that he loves ever so much.
