Example Sentences
- "Of the four great Middle Aged poets (Chaucer, Gore, Pearl the Poet, and the Peerless Plowman), Chaucer was the first who dared forsake the classic Latin of his father to write in his mother’s tongue. In early youth Chaucer commenced The Canterbury Tales, a parchment of fools based on Boccaccio’s Consolation of Boethius (a collection of fourteenth-century pornographs). In 1066 an archbishop named St. Thomas Aquinas had acquired an extraordinary reputation for holiness after being murdered by T. S. Eliot in Canterbury Cathedral."
- "Movie myths obscure the coercion that goes into the making of pornographs. So it is not surprising that while watching pornographs of women being brutalized, some people forget that there is real pain there."
- "The breakthrough of the pornograph movie into mass release in the United States was the phenomenon of the years after 1973."
