Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote,
the droughtes of Marche has perced to the rote
And bathed every vein in suich licour
Of which vertu is engendered the flour
When April with its sweet showers
has perced the drought of March to the root
And bathed every vein in such liquor
of which virtue is engenderedd the flower
Another gem of founding English style in poetry and prose . It is written in iambic pentametre, which lies in the origin blankverse , verse that is the best convienient of English language and for stylistic purposes of its literature. It explores best the language revaluing to the full itspossibilities. Chaucer is rightly considered as the father of English poetry , its narrative poetry. Because in the origin literarygenre is verse, narratives in prose came much later. Chaucer, in these tales the frame of which he lent from Decameron, but there ends all resemblance, he went further, much further exporing English society, all strata present except the highest, the arisocracy, gentry was explored, who were English characters, he explored contemporary medieval society, with their wishes , and wants, individual being determined by and at samne time springing from the soil, alive.

Interesting this beginning at spring time and the characters of this haphazard and variagated company, much more deeply inserted into the soil of the people and closer to thei task, and who knows , of Chaucer's secret wish. The place where they start recounting is not a castle, place of fortitude and power but a modest tavern, and host is the proprietor of it, called the host. It is deeply ingrained in English way of life and culturally so. It is the place of encounter, of coming and going , it is at the origin of information and the giving awaz of the best possibility, the best story. Neeedless to say this work is not finished In this congregation Chaucer or poet is present, humble and modest, Chaucer ironising all , did not spare himself his irony, he was tentative and apologetic, his tale wass interrupted by the Host as uninteresting and confusung, badly told. Now is present individuals on their path in the world, their makingsof their destiny Brilliant! and entirely English
