Additional quotes by Ernest Dowson

I understand that absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.

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?

O pray the earth enfold
Our life-sick hearts and turn them into dust.

I was not sorrowful, but only tired Of everything that ever I desired. - Ernest Dowson
