English Proverb by Edward Thomas (166)
"Blessed are the dead that the rain falls on"
This proverb is referenced by Owl Eyes in this chapter and it is basically adding insult to injury as nobody really came to see Gatsby at his funeral and that the rain is pouring over him and his casket creating an even more sad image of his bitter end.
