Two weeks...

It's that you each, to shorten the long journey,
Shall tell two tales en route to Canterbury,
And, coming homeward, another two,
Stories of things that happened long ago.
Whoever best acquits himself, and tells

The most amusing and instructive tale,

Shall have a dinner, paid by us all,
Here in this roof, and under this roof-tree,
When we come back again from Canterbury.

--Geoffrey Chaucer, from The Canterbury Tales General Prologue

Just two weeks left until the day of departure...
