Auden once said, “A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.”
Chaucer, Langland, Douglas, Dunbar, with all your
brother Anons, how on earth did you ever manage,
without anaesthetics or plumbing,
in daily peril from witches, warlocks,
from W. H. Auden
Ode to the Medieval Poets
