Of harmes two the lesse is for to cheese

Geoffrey Chaucer, often referred to as the father of English literature, was a master at weaving complex themes and moral lessons into his works. One such theme that is prevalent throughout his writing is the idea of choosing the lesser of two evils. This concept is beautifully encapsulated in the phrase “Of harmes two the lesse is for to cheese,” which can be found in Chaucer’s famous work, “The Canterbury Tales.”
