Tao Te Ching

“Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, written in the last decade of his life, marks a surprising new vision, a work that would outshine all his others... [His] pilgrims are not merely 'representative,' each has a distinctive face and figure with his very own variety of impatience and enthusiasm... Chaucer himself is always there with self-disparaging comments, a slightly obtuse and puzzled witness to the human condition.”
