“You are the cause by which I die.”
Geoffrey Chaucer, The Knight's Tale
“Fortune has dealt us this adversity:
Some malign aspect or disposition
Of Saturn in some adverse position
Has brought it on us; nothing's to be done:
It stood thus in our stars when we were born;
The long and short of it is this: Endure.”
Geoffrey Chaucer, Canterbury Tales: The Knight's Tale
“Think! We are prisoners and shall always be.
Fortune has given us this adversity,
Some wicked planetary dispensation,
Some Saturn’s trick or evil constellation
Has given us this, and Heaven, though we had sworn
The contrary, so stood when we were born.
We must endure it, that’s the long and short”
Geoffrey Chaucer, The Knight's Tale
