"Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote The droghte of March hath perced to the roote, . . . Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages . . . ''
From "The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1340-1400)
"Large numbers of people in travel costumes and leggings were passing by noisily on their way to and from the temple. In a room where the shutters had been raised, I waited for water to be heated, and as I looked out on the road I thought how each of these travelers must have his own problems, his own particular reason for making the pilgrimage.''
