CLOTHES​

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.​
