Additional quotes by Ernest Dowson

When this, our rose, is faded,
And these, our days, are done,
In lands profoundly shaded
From tempest and from sun:
Ah, once more come together,
Shall we forgive the past,
And safe from worldly weather
Possess our souls at last?

The fairest face of all is the face I have not seen.

Better than mortal flowers,
Thy moon-kissed roses seem.

Ah, God, that sweet things should decline, And fires fade out which were not cold, Erewhile. - Ernest Dowson
