In Act III Scene VII Cyrano states “My heart always timidly hides itself behind my mind.

The poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” by e.e. cummings and the fictional novel The Great Gatsby by F.

He believes, in regard of Holden’s outburst with Sally confessing his love to her at an odd moment in chapter 17, that, “Holden has finally met a female willing to be with him and the very act enhances his feelings of rejection by his own mother.” Whenever Holden feels as if he might be getting somewhere with someone, he repulses, so this may be the reason why he had never called Jane, because he was not “in the mood” to get rejected by someone he cares about and have to experience those feelings all over again or even more than he already does.
