Complete Poems by Ernest Dowson
This collection brings together the lyrical and melancholic poetry of a late 19th-century English poet known for his fin de siècle verse characterized by its moods of weariness and regret. The poems often reflect themes of unrequited love, the fleeting nature of beauty and youth, and a deep sense of loss, all delivered with a mastery of meter and an exquisite use of language. The poet's work, though not extensive due to his short life, had a significant influence on the literature of the era, and his phrases have entered the common lexicon, capturing the decadent spirit of his time.
