You simply don't grok it.
This is a derivative (annotated) work:
Annotation of General Prologue for Canterbury Tales
Whan that [When] Aprill with his shoures soote [sweet showers/rain]
The droghte [drought] of March hath perced [pierced] to the roote [root],
And bathed every veyne in swich licour [fluid such that]
Of which vertu engendred [by virtue of which is caused] is the flour [flower]
Whan Zephirus [Zephir, the West Wind] eek [also] with his sweete breeth [sweet
breath]
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth´...
But this message as a whole is not a derivative work.
regards,
alexander.
