Thread Name: BS: Salad Days - whence came this phrase?
Subject: RE: BS: Salad Days - whence came this phrase?
Days of Wine and Roses is Ernest Dowson (not J P Miller who borrowed it).
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.
