From the supplier: Guillaume de Machaut's 'Voir dit' was originally accepted as a narrative of Machaut's love affair with Peronne d'Armentieres and has recently been considered a mediation on love. However, the poem better lends itself to an ironic and humorous interpretation because of the contrasts made between the florid language of love and the reality of experience. The juxtaposition of idealistic and realistic experiences of love and fortune create an underlying ironic message for readers that is not in praise of love.
