Dedication to my journey at SIT:

12: Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
13: And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
14: To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

[Then do folk long to go on pilgrimage,
And palmers to go seeking out strange strands,
To distant shrines well known in sundry lands.]

—From the prologue of The Canterbury Tales. (Middle English. Actually, prologuelate 14th century, east midlands, according to Richard)
