Gold Brooch
Gold Brooch
The Canterbury Tales - The Nun?
I have to draw a picture of the Nun from the description give in the prologue.
I don't understand the little blurb about the broach.
"A pair of beads gauded all with green, A rosary decorated
And thereon hung a brooch of gold full sheen shining
On which was written first a crowned 'A'
And after: Amor Vincit Omnia."
What does this necklace look like?
She is a nun - is this a rosary?
or instead of a crucifix, is it this golden broach thingy?
Thanks
She is wearing a decorated rosary.Her rosary is made of small beads or bits of coral interspersed with green gauds,somewhat larger beads Being a nun, she is not supposed to adorn herself. Moreover, she is also wearing a golden brooch,instead of the crucifix, with the words Amor Vincit Omnia engraved upon it, which means love conquers all. but it is not a love for Jesus, but love for material possessions.
