Who was Geoffrey Chaucer?

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!

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
