Quotation of the Day for April 11, 2014



I cried for madder music and for stronger wine,
But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire,
Then falls thy shadow, Cynara! the night is thine;
And I am desolate and sick of an old passion,
Yea, hungry for the lips of my desire:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

- Ernest Dowson, from his poem Non sum qualis eram bonae sub regno Cynarae.
