Hi,

Great stuff, I am enjoying reading all the H. Hudson information. Thank you.

You quote Chaucer on this page: http://www.ianchadwi...n/hudson_01.htm

"A little boat/No bigger than a man's thought."

I cannot find a reference to this line anywhere. Can you please tell me where in Chaucer it appears?

Thanks very much!

I've searched all the online quotation sites and cannot find this. Please put us out of our misery Ian and tell.

As I recall, it's from a dual-line translation of a selection Chaucer's Cantebury Tales (Middle English/Modern English). I have it at home, but might take me a little time to find the right story and line. Give me a little time to look for it. Something in my head says it's the Miller's Tale, but I'm not sure.
