Linen Garments

Famous quotes containing the words linen and/or garments:

    “It is not linen you’re wearing out
    But human creatures’ lives!
    Stitch—stitch—stitch,

    Sewing at once, with a double thread,
    A Shroud as well as a Shirt.”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    Sweep through her marble halls!
    I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light
    From the celestial walls!”
