Ernest Dowson

Vitae Summa Brevis Spem Nos Vetat Incohare Longam

    THEY are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
        Love and desire and hate:
    I think they have no portion in us after
        We pass the gate.

    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.
 

Ernest Christopher Dowson (Lee, Londres, Inglaterra, 1867 - Catford, Inglaterra, 1900). Poeta, novelista y autor de relatos.
