Was "Gone With The Wind" a common phrase before the Mitchell book? I’m not sure. It was taken from an 1894 poem by British poet Ernst Dowson. The title is a long Latin phrase that translates as “I am not as I was during the reign of King Cynara” but is usually just referred to as “Cynara.” It is one of my favorite poems and I can recite it entire upon request (but so far no one has). I can’t tell how widely known the phrase was before the novel. Here it is: The phrase "days of wine and roses" comes from another Dowson poem.
