Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 16   AIL 1523 short lesson, about 20 seconds

"Then Longe Folk to Go on Pilgrimages"

Captions available

The idea

After eleven lines of when, the sentence turns on then: then people long to go on pilgrimages. Spring is the condition and pilgrimage is the consequence. The whole opening is one suspended sentence, and it resolves only at that word.

In practice

Eleven lines of when, then one then.

Where people slip

The sentence resolves on one word.
