Ernest Christopher Dowson Ernest C. Dowson, poet, was born in Kent. He received some of his education in France, and in 1866 entered Queen's College, Oxford. Having read considerably and widely, Dowson left without obtaining a degree. He went to London where he joined the literary circle of Aubrey Beardsley, Oscar Wilde, and their friends. He was also one of the Rhymers' Club and contributed to The Books of the Rhymers' Club (1892 and 1894), The Yellow Book and The Savoy. In 1891 he met 'Missie' Adelaide Foltinowicz, a twelve-year-old who later became a key image of innocence and lost love in his poetry. more >>

In such a twilight hour of breath,
Shall one retrace his life or see,
Through shadows, the true face of death?''

In such an hour it may well be,
Through mist and darkness, light will break,
And each anointed sense will see.''
