Chaucer worked as a writer and a civil servant. Geoffrey Chaucer (1342-1400) was an English writer; he was the first great poet to write in English, and the author of 'The Canterbury Tales', one of the best poetic works in English. Apart from being a writer, he was civil servant who successfully served three kings of England: Edward III, Richard II, and Henry IV.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
