The Romaunt Of The Rose - Geoffrey Chaucer - Bog

The Romaunt of the Rose is a medieval poem written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the late 14th century. It is a dream vision, where the narrator falls asleep and dreams of a beautiful garden, where he sees a rose. The rose is guarded by a fierce and formidable fortress, which the narrator must overcome to reach the rose. The poem is divided into two parts, the first being an allegory of courtly love, where the narrator seeks to woo the rose, and the second being a satire of the church and its practices. The poem is notable for its use of allegory, symbolism, and satire, and is considered one of the most important works of medieval literature.Many men seyn that in sweveninges Ther nis but fables and lesinges; But men may somme swevenes seen, Which hardely ne false been, But afterward ben apparaunte.
