Here you will find the Poem Vitae Summa Brevis Spem Nos Vetat Incohare Longam of poet Ernest Christopher Dowson
They are not long, the weeping and the laughter, Love and desire and hate: I think they have no portion in us after We pass the gate. They are not long, the days of wine and roses: Out of a misty dream Our path emerges for a while, then closes Within a dream.
