Mitchell's title comes from the first line of the third stanza of Dowson's 1894 poem, Non Sum Qualis Eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae. When translated from Latin into English the poem's title reads, "I am not as I was under the reign of the kind Cynara." Dowson's title itself is borrowed from a line of the Roman lyric poet Horace's Odes, Book 4, 1.

 

Ernest Dowson (1867-1900) died of alcoholism at the age of 32. His downward spiral began at age 23 when he fell for an 11 year old girl who would spurn him at 14 when he proposed marriage. The following year, in 1894 his father died from an overdose. Dowson's mother hanged herself within a year of her husband's death.

 

Soon after this dual tragedy Dowson left for France before returning back to England in 1897. Curiously he lived with the family of his unrequited love. Penniless, heartbroken and filling the empty voids in his life with alcohol, Dowson would spend the last six weeks of his life in the cottage of the Oscar Wilde biographer Robert Sherard who had found him drunk in a bar.

 

Speaking of Oscar Wilde, he wrote after Dowson's death of a,"Poor wounded wonderful fellow that he was, a tragic reproduction of all tragic poetry, like a symbol, or a scene. I hope bay leaves will be laid on his tomb and rue and myrtle too for he knew what love was."

 

As for Margaret Mitchell — who was eerily born, this day, in the year of Dowson's death — she would succumb to injuries from a hit-and-run accident in Atlanta, Georgia at the age of 49. Gone With the Wind would be the only novel that she wrote and published in her lifetime.
