B. Yeats on waning passion and faded beauty, Ernest Dowson on lust and despair and Lord Alfred Douglas on shame and secret love, among many others of this exhilarating poetic movement.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
