History: The Prophet: On Clothes

Source of version: 3 (current)

||On Clothes|
And 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 to wear."|
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.| ||
