I’m starting to get the hang of the language and it’s incredible how much is missed when reading in translation: not just the music of the language, but the complexity of meanings coded into the form.

These words, & more, within his room he spake/
And begged his lady, in his grief, profound/ Some recognition of his love to make/ And wept salt, tears in which he nearly drowned/ But all in vain, for not a single sound/ She heard, not being present to do so/ Which made his grief a thousandfold to grow.
Not sure if this stanza was meant to be funny or ironic, but it literally made me laugh out loud. 10/10, Chaucer!

Seems thematic to finally read this, now than I’ve finished the Iliad and the Odyssey.
