Geoffrey Chaucer was the first major English poet and he "set the stage" for Shakespeare, if you'll pardon the pun. I have expanded my Chaucer translations with "To Rosemounde" and several others.
How beautiful to sit and read these words in a patch of sunlight and inhaling the scent and taste from my coffee cup…
Chaucer took romance and whimsy and continued the tradition of longing in these exclamations of love - handing them off to Shakespeare and Marlowe- and Elliot later, right to this spot. Thank you for your expert offerings. I truly enjoyed these..grateful.
Chaucer was the first wave of a new kind of English poetry, and he remains one of the best poets all these centuries later. I especially love "Merciless Beauty" and hope my translation brings it more attention.
