Canterbury Tales
|
|
|
Come pensive Nun, devout and pure, Sober, steadfast, and demure, All in a robe of darkest grain, Flowing with majestic train, And sable stole of cypress lawn, Over thy decent shoulders drawn. Come, but keep thy wonted state, With even step and musing gait, And looks commercing with the skies, Thy rapt soul sitting in thine eyes; There held in holy passion still, Forget thyself to marble ~ John Milton A nun is a holy woman that represents purity and chastity. Though a nun’s life may be simple, it is surely not easy, for it is a life against nature. She vows of obedience, poverty, sacrifice and self-abnegation. Geoffrey Chaucer, describes in the Prologue of The Canterbury Tales of a pilgrim nun, Madam Eglantyne, who ironically does not seem to fully fit the description of a recluse.
