The Poet of Desire

In 1382, court poet Geoffrey Chaucer forever changed history when he linked February 14 with romantic love in his poem Parlement of Foules.

Within royal courts and candlelit halls, Chaucer imagined lovers choosing one another on this sacred day — elevating passion into poetry and desire into destiny. What was once an ordinary winter date became a celebration of longing, devotion, and sensual courtship.

Every rose offered, every chocolate shared, every diamond clasped at the throat is an echo of the man who gave love its own day.
