Do not forget that modesty is for a shield

against the eye of the impure…

And when the impure will be no more,

what will modesty ever have been

if not a fetter and a contagion of the mind?

And do not forget that the earth thrills to hear and bear the tracks of your naked feet

And that the wind longs to play with your hair.

The Prophet by Kahlil Gibrain

And the weaver said, “Speak to us of clothes.”
And he answered:
“Your clothes conceal much of your beauty,
but they do not hide that which is unbeautiful.
And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy,
you may find in them an armour and chain.
If only you could go about in the sun and wind
with more of your skin showing
and less of your precious robes;
for the breath of life is in the sunlight
and the very hand of life is in the wind.

The Prophet by Kahlil Gibrain

Some of you say,
“It is the north wind who has woven the clothes we wear.”
And I say,
“Yes, it was the north wind,
But shame was his loom
And the softening of the sinews served for thread.
And when his deed was done
He laughed in the middle of the forest.”
