- Description
- "Cloude," the word that ends the narrator's description of his celestial journey, calls attention to the diminished vision of Geffrey compared to that of Boethius's Thought, and the blurred understandings and dream categories offered in HF. The word may derive from Macrobius's 'prima nebula' of sleep.
- Chaucer Subjects
- House of Fame.
