So, I've got one of the most important exams of the rest of my career.

Well, not my career. But tomorrow is my English lit exam, and the exam I need to do really well in, so for today's blog, I will be posting  quotes.

Good times, eh?

The first set is from the Wife of Bath....:

And yes, they are spelt correctly...

'Experience, though noon auctoritee
Were in this world, is right ynogh for me
To speke oof the wo that is in marriage'

An housbande I wol have, I wol natte lette
Which shall be bothe by my dettour and my thrall'

'Deceite, weping, spinning God hath yive
To wommen kindely, whil that they may live'

'For trusteth wel, it is an impossible
That any clerk wol speke good of wives
But if it be of hooly seintes lives'

'And whan that I hadde geten unto me,
By maistrie, al the soveraintee'

'He saugh a maide walkinge him biforn,
Of which maide anon, maugree hir heed,
By verray force, he rafte hir maidenhead'

'Wommen desiren to have sovereinetee
As wel over hir housband as hir love
And for to been in maistrie him above'

'For gentillesse cometh fro God allone'

'I put me in youre wise governance'

'And eek I praye Jhesu shorte hir lives
That wol nat be governed by hir wives'

"What was the word of the god?" Oedipus

But not the cares of the state" Creon

So, there you have it, the long list of things I've been trying to remember all day.

I hope at least half of it has sunk in...

Night!
