Famous quotes containing the word chaucer:

    “With hym ther was his sone, a yong squier,
    A lovyere and a lusty bacheler,
    With lokkes crulle as they were leyd in presse.
    Of twenty yeer of age he was, I gesse.
    Of his stature he was of evene lengthe,
    And wonderly delyvere, and of greet strengthe.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
