Yes - shades of School! I first read that work in 1965 in my senior year of HS and loved it! I wrote a paper that year on "The Miller's Tale." In my undergrad days, I took several courses in medieval English Lit. One exclusively in Chaucer - with the entire Canterbury Tales. A brilliant poet in my opinion, whose value has endured and stood the test of time, and who is as relevant now as when he was writing.



"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
