Gatsby turned out all right at the end… Maybe he turned out all right to Nick. Maybe Gatsby escaped his sad life. He felt sorry for him, I think.
What preyed on Gatsby was his death and his abandonment by Daisy – floated in the wake of his dreams – his dreams being his Gatsby self and his romantic, nostalgic, unrealistic dreams of being with Daisy – Temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrow and short-winded elations of men

So what preyed on Gatsby made nick uninterested in the abortive(unfinished) sorrows(sadness) and short-winded(not very long) elations(optimisms) of men.
