“The rede statue of Mars, with spere and targe,
So shyneth in his whyte baner large,
That alle the feeldes gliteren up and doun;
And by his baner born is his penoun
Of gold ful riche, in which ther was ybete
The Minotaur, which that he slough in Crete.
Thus rit this duc, thus rit this conquerour,
And in his hoost of chivalrie the flour.”

pickI‘m rereading The Canterbury Tales along with my girls for school. Listening to The Knight‘s Tale audio really elevates the story of Arcita and Palamon, who both love Emily and vow to fight for her hand. Edward de Souza narrates. He is all kinds of dramatic at just the right times. It is 100% enjoyable.
The Knight‘s Tale audio is 55 minutes, and I paid just over $1. We are listening to the “Tales” separately (vs one long audiobook). #homeschool
So I chose the line 🎶 Chivalry is dead 🎶 from #Promiscuous and thought the Knight from Chaucer would be disappointed in today's society. #HeatofJuly @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen

“Reading books of old...”
(I cheated couldn‘t find the song for “something like this”, so I added a “just”)
#septemBOWIE For a breezy and low key movie there are quite a bit of good actors in it. And the music makes it awesome. Chaucer makes it just adorable.
