The Eagle speaks to Geffrey of the futility and emptiness of a scholar ; "Thou goost hom to thy hous anoon,/And, also domb as any stoon,/Thou sittest at another book/Tyl fully ... House of Rumour. However, although Chaucer is himself a scholarly and academic man like Geffrey, he is still rather mocking of the academic society and the scholars who seem to be permaently fixed within the world of literature and relying entirely on book-learning, rather than experiences from the events in the outside world of reality.
