The last Poem of the Week was chosen not only because it was an attempt to echo Verlaine in English - a pastiche, if you like, of the previous POTW.
Ernest Dowson was born locally (Lee) and is best remembered for phrases like "Days of Wine and Roses" and "Gone with the Wind." He's buried in Brockley and Ladywell Cemetery, and a few weeks back there was a small ceremony by his restored grave (see Brockley Central).
