Ernest Dowson (1867-1900) was an English poet and writer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his short poems, such as "Non Sum Qualis Eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae" and "Vitae Summa Brevis Spem Nos Vetat Incohare Longam". He was a member of the Decadent movement, which was a reaction to the Victorian era's emphasis on morality and propriety. His work often explored themes of love, death, and nostalgia. He was also a noted translator of French literature. Dowson's life was marked by tragedy and personal struggles, and he died at the age of 32.
