Analysis of The Poetry Of Chaucer
George Meredith 1828 (Portsmouth, Hampshire) – 1909 (Box Hill, Surrey)
Grey with all honours of age! but fresh-featured and ruddy
As dawn when the drowsy farm-yard has thrice heard Chaunticlere.
Tender to tearfulness--childlike, and manly, and motherly;
Here beats true English blood richest joyance on sweet English
ground.
