"Just finished the Tale of Melibeus. A work of prose in a collection of poetry. It’s prefaced by an argument the host (Chaucer) has with the landlord of the inn, who accuses Chaucer’s of “utter silliness” and “rhyming to the devil”.
The story is a a series of morals posed by the wife of the titular character, along with her many citations, in an attempt at calming Melibeus and preventing an all-out war." — Apr 05, 2024 11:40AM

"02/08/24: it’s too difficult and requires much more research of contextual details than I am willing to endure in one sitting, so to speak. I’m going to come back to it in chunks, read some easier books, classics, and return to Ulysses in between. I’m doing the same thing with the Canterbury Tales but for an almost opposite reason." — Feb 08, 2024 09:22AM
