Chaucer
Quote from a student paper:
[As Howard Patch said,] Chaucer had a "mature and realistic mind, equable enough to observe that all shall pass and that odd things occur along the way."
It's amazing how many quotes they can find that say nothing useful at all!
ReplyDeleteIn context, a discussion of Terry Jones' theories about Chaucer's Knight, this is a useful observation.
