dying at thirty three;
what more do you want ..

Good point. If he had lived and it was his only success, history would look at him differently. Just an observation. Great write, Paul. Appreciate you.

One is all you need.
When I was a professional photographer, I remember parents telling me that if I could get one true shot of their child, it's all they'd want.

Dowson's poem reminds me of a saying by Brazilian writer Fernando Sabine (1988):
"Everything will be all right in the end; so if it is not all right, it is not yet the end."
"Everything will be all right in the end; so if it is not all right, it is not yet the end."

wine and roses to the end, then, and if it’s not yet
the end, lets open another bottle !
