Famous quotes containing the words canterbury and/or tales:

    Therefore Lord, not only are you that than which a greater cannot be thought but you are also something greater than can be thought.
    —Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109)

    Among the Indians he had fought;
    And with him many tales he brought
    Of pleasure and of fear;
    Such tales as told to any Maid
    By such a Youth, in the green shade,
    Were perilous to hear.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
