Ernest Dowson, Classical Poems Best Place to Buy Anywhere on the Internet

In 1891 Ernest Dowson met Adelaide Foltinowicz, a restaurateur's daughter, then aged 12 and she became a symbol of love and innocence some of his verse. He courted her for 2 years but when she came of age she married a waiter who worked in her father's restaurant! Robert Sherard one day found Dowson almost penniless in a wine bar and took him back to the cottage inCatford where he was himself living. Dowson spent the last six weeks of his life at Sherard's cottage and died there of alcoholism (or some say of tuberculosis) at the age of 32.
