I’m the Father of English Literaturreand if that isn´t enough I’m the greatest English poet of
the Middle Ages.
I was born in 1343, a loooong time ago in
London!

The Book of the Duchess
Before men ever wrote in clay they cast their words in verse
and line, rythymbound in poets' minds, defying time and
age. ~Dave Beard
Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn. ~Thomas
Gray
