Days of Wine and Roses - Wkp disambiguation:

• Days of Wine and Roses (film), a 1962 film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Jack Lemmon
• "Days of Wine and Roses" (song), a song by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer
• Ernest Dowson (1867-1900), a popular quotation from his poem "Vitae Summa Brevis"

Dowson is best remembered for phrases such as days of wine and roses from his poem Vitae Summa Brevis, which appears in the stanza:

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. ~ Labyrinth by Edwin Muir.

and "gone with the wind", from Non Sum Qualis eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae, the third stanza of which reads:

I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,

Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng,

Dancing, to put thy pale, lost lilies out of mind; 'and you're still on my mind'

But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,

Yea, all the time, because the dance was long:

I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

that's lovely, the whole verse. forgetting ~ dancing. flung with the throng. but that old passion ('belly sick with love for her for years' - Abe, Tender is the Night), desolate, yea 'oh yea' all the time -the dance was long- 'I am the Lord of the dance said He .. and I'll lead you all in the dance said He' (Christmas carolers? no... Christmas Revellers no Christmas Revels) - the Ivy & the Rose - 'all the way to Heaven is Heaven, because He said I am the Way' (St Therese). I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion. all poetry is reminding.

The last line of this stanza is the last line of all four stanzas of the poem, and was the inspiration for the song title 'Always True to You in My Fashion' from 'Kiss Me, Kate' by Cole Porter.
In Margaret Mitchell's words, the first line of the (above) third stanza had the "far away, faintly sad sound I wanted" and so she called her only novel "Gone with the Wind."
