"Aprill with his shoures soote" kann man ja heute so sagen, aber von "perced to the roote" dürfte wohl keine Rede sein.

You reminded me, CatSalad, of the opening lines of Kermit's Canterbury Tales:
"Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licóur
Of which vertú engendred is the flour;
...So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,
Thanne longen frogges to goon on pilgrimages..."

CW: King Henry II kills, literature 5/5
AIUI the Church quickly turns Tom into a martyr.
Pilgimages to Canterbury Cathedral boom.
Did having Tom as a martyr make the King , as instigator, an unholy abuser, at least until he's forgiven? Did this weigh against the #DivineRightOfKings.And you get one guess on whose shrine the pilgrims in #Chaucer's #CanterburyTales (1400) are headed to.
Currently considering how better to read/listen to those tales. Doesn't appear to be any obvious choice. -
Let’s see how autocorrect handles Middle English:
Even that apostle with his shoes sore
The die off match hath peeved to the toe
And bathed every bender in switch liquor
Of which virtu engendered is the floor.(It kind of makes sense???)
(I had to memorize the first 18 lines of the prologue in Middle English in high school. This is the first time it’s ever come in handy lol!)

Chaucer Here and Now has now opened at the Bodleian Libraries. The new exhibition explores the lasting influence of Geoffrey Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales, and charts how this unconventional medieval poet came to be known as the ‘Father of English Literature.’ https://www.medievalists.net/2023/12/chaucer-here-and-now-opens-at-the-bodleian/ #Chaucer #CanterburyTales #BodleianLibrary #Oxford

@Instrument_Data Adding a direct link to the #BritishLibrary announcement, since it has delightful images from the Chaucer manuscripts & early printed books: https://blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2023/10/chaucers-works-go-online.html
Here's #Chaucer depicted in the initial "W" of the General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales: "Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote..." from Lansdowne MS 851, c.1410.

«So, you'll be happy to know you don't have to slog through all of them to read the Canterbury Tales; even Chaucer only managed to finish 24 of them!
In fact, he gives up on writing this before they even make it to Canterbury.
So, for all you writers out there that have a half-finished novel in a drawer, take heart!
Chaucer never finished his main work, and he's the father of English literature!»

My dad was a little obsessed w/the Wife of Bath so I thought I’d put this here. #chaucer #canterburytales #literature https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/books/review/the-wife-of-bath-marion-turner.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

From the recent boxes, the only English-language fiction there-in. It's unlikely their previous owner celebrated 4/20 veggies. Mediæval poetry & fiction, a space-age plague, & a futuristic dystopia. Classics, all!
4/20/23 Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open containers, please.
