Ernest Dowson I agree | disagree
I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,
Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng
Dowson quotes I agree | disagree
I understand that absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.
Dowson I agree | disagree
O pray the earth enfold
Our life-sick hearts and turn them into dust.




They are not long, the days of wine and roses;
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
Dowson Ernest I agree | disagree
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.
