A poet's true previlege is his licensciousness. Fluidity of diction and licensciousness in language is what added charm to Geoffrey Chaucer. When we describe a schoolboy by saying" carrying a set of books", Chaucer will think that the spelling does not denote the heaviness of the books the schoolboy carries and so will alter the spelling to bookes and pronounce accordigly so that the heaviness of the books will really be felt on the singer of the poem. This is what is his licensciousness in dealing with the language, but in all instances it becomes the beauty of his verse.
