“Gone with the wind.”

In Le Complainte Rutebeuf, the 13th century French poet Rutebeuf remarks,

“Friendship is dead:
They were friends who go with the wind,
And the wind was blowing at my door.”

The phrase “Gone with the wind” became a cliché, after Margaret Mitchell published her romantic Civil War Novel in 1936.

The book became a best seller. Its film version released in 1939 won ten Academy Awards.
