The poem is "Parlement of Foules" or "Parlement of Birddes" by Geoffrey Chaucer.
Edit: Forgot to say it was for Richard II and his engagement to Anne of Bohemia. Just thought I'd toss it up there even though it's 3 quizzes ago Last edited by Fbone; 02-13-2013 at 07:46 PM. |

I think that TGS won that quiz, so over to him. Or I'll put up another later after getting the Gibbons one. |

That would be Murakami Haruki's Norwegian Wood.
Part of the lyrics in the Beatles song. |

Well, if we are on the topic of Japanese author's and their titles. Which author wrote a book with a title that could have been "Gentle Snow Fall"? What is the English title instead?

To get us restarted here's a simple riddle:
She awakes, I touch her and she spreads her legs apart. We are both nervous but I continue. Finally the white liquid comes. What happened? |

Sounds to me like you were opening a Swedish milk carton, but I doubt that is what you are asking about.
