From all your herds, a cup or two of milk,
From all your granaries, a loaf of bread,
In all your palace, only half a bed:
Can man use more? And do you own the rest?
from an ancient Sanskrit poem,
quoted by Rolf Potts in his book Vagabonding.

From all your herds, a cup or two of milk,
From all your granaries, a loaf of bread,
In all your palace, only half a bed:
Can man use more? And do you own the rest?
from an ancient Sanskrit poem,
quoted by Rolf Potts in his book Vagabonding.
“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.”
variously attributed to Sir Richard Steele, Joseph Addison, and Augustus Hare.
The language of clothing is high symbolism and we all, in moments where we need to know this, realize it.
