Chaucer, the “corones tweyne,” and the Eve of Saint Agnes
View through CrossRef
John Keats was one of the last English poets to lyricize a venerable tradition when, in his “The Eve of Saint Agnes,” the narrator describes… one Lady there,Whose heart had brooded, all that wintry day,On love, and winged St. Agnes' saintly care,As she had heard old dames full many times declare.They told her how, upon St. Agnes' Eve,Young virgins might have visions of delight,And soft adorings from their loves receiveUpon the honey'd middle of the night,If ceremonies due they did aright.(42–50)
