How poetry affects titles

Ernest Christopher Dowson has, with his poetry, inspired the title of a famous novel and its equally famous film: Gone With The Wind , the title of Margaret Mitchell's Civil War epic, is a quote from Cynara (I am not what I was, under the reign of the good Cynara).

Days of Wine and Roses, a phrase from one of Dowson's shorter poems, became the title of a film about alcoholism with Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. Dowson was a tragic figure, dying at the age of 32 of tuberculosis.

Both poems are included in my Blog.
