That field hath eyen, and the wood hath ears

Geoffrey Chaucer, often referred to as the father of English literature, was a poet, philosopher, and author who lived in the 14th century. His works, particularly "The Canterbury Tales," are considered some of the greatest pieces of English literature ever written. Chaucer was known for his keen observations of human nature and his ability to capture the essence of medieval life in his writing.

One of Chaucer's most famous quotes is "That field hath eyen, and the wood hath ears." This line is from his work "The Canterbury Tales" and is a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of nature and the world around us. Chaucer believed that everything in nature is alive and aware, with the ability to see and hear the world around them.
