Poetry Quote by Ernest Dowson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I was not sorrowful, but only tired”

“Ah, Lalage! while life is ours,”

“I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,”

“All a poet can do today is warn.”

“Pero, tú no eres fácil.”

“I am not yours, not lost in you,”

“And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.”

“I am sonnets full of stardust within the meter of my skin.”

“Mineral cactai,”
