Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ernest Dowson: 1888-1897, Reminiscences, Unpublished Letters and Marginalia Poor Ernest Dowson through his sufferings is becoming almost as famous as that earlier unhappy poet who by self-destruction set apart his lifestory in the sorrowful annals of literature. There were perhaps two Chattertons - who, at this long distance of time, can tell? There were certainly two Dowsons - one the vexed and torn spirit of the biographers, of Mr Sherard and Mr Arthur Symons, the other a Dowson intime, known, I venture to think, to very few, but by those few greatly loved. This intimate and perhaps essential Dowson appears, I am convinced, in these thirty or so letters, now for the first time published in full or in part. In them no ugly slur of passion, no ill savours, are to be found. Instead we are refreshed by fragrance - transient and slight, perhaps, yet evident, - by fragrance, be it said again, and by an unfailing touch of good breeding, a gracious and insistent air of modesty - by something diffident, boyishly shy, often beautiful and noble.
