an unfamiliar sky

"He must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream. He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass...like that ashen, fantastic figure gliding toward him through the amorphous trees." — F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Great Gatsby)
