'From old fields comes new corn, or so they say, Sporting its yellow ears from year to year: And likewise, from old books come new ideas, And everything worth learning in this life; So how do I apply this hackneyed thought? Merely by saying that I loved my book So well, I read all day, and lost myself...' Chaucer's 'Parliament of Fowls' is a story about love, lust, honour, nature...and ducks. Simon Webb's highly accessible modern English verse translation conveys the humour and colour of Chaucer's original, and his introduction explains why the poem is now considered to be the work that first introduced the idea of Valentine's Day as we know it. With notes, glossary and further reading. Ancient, Classical & Medieval Literature Poetry
