In short, they might all say of matter, what Michael Angelo said of external beauty, “it is the frail and weary weed, in which God dresses the soul, which he has called into time.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One who dresses in rags that have been washed clean dresses cleanly to be sure, but raggedly nonetheless.”
