Excerpt from Dress, and How to Improve It

"Clothes, which began in foolishest love of Ornament, what have they not become! Increased Security and pleasurable Heat soon followed: but what of these? Shame, Divine Shame (Schaam, Modesty), as yet a stranger to the Anthropophagans bosom, arose there mysteriously under Clothes; a mystic, grove-encircled shrine for the Holy in man. Clothes gave us individuality, distinctions, social polity: Clothes have made Men of us; they are threatening to make Clothes-screens of us." - Carlyle.
