Chapter 10 - Clothes |
| |
 nd
the weaver said, "Speak to us of Clothes." |
| |
| And he answered: Your clothes conceal much of
your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful. And
though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy
you may find in them a harness and a chain. Would
that you could meet the sun and the wind with more
of your skin and less of your raiment. For the breath
of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is
in the wind. |
| |
| Some of you say, "It is the north wind who has
woven the clothes we wear." And I say, Aye, it was
the north wind, But shame was his loom, and the softening
of the sinews was his thread. And when his work was
done he laughed in the forest. Forget not that modesty
is for a shield against the eye of the unclean. And
when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty
but a fetter and a fouling of the mind? |
| |
| And forget not that the earth delights to feel
your bare feet and the winds long to play with your
hair. |
