Geoffrey Chaucer Quotes

The Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath’s Prologue. Who painted the lion, tell me who? This is about a story in the fables of Aesop, in which a lion and man debate which one of them is superior. In it an art work shows a lion overpowering a man. And who made it, asks the lion? To which the answer is, a man. The lions says that if it had been constructed by a lion, it would show the lion overpowering the man. Who holds the pen, has the power, the Wife of Bath is saying.
