And the weaver said, Speak to us of Clothes. A tkadlec řekl: Mluv s námi o šatech.

And he answered: A on odpověděl:

Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful. Vaše šaty skrývají mnoho z vaší krásy, ale neskrývají to nekrásné.

And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy you may find in them a harness and a chain. A přestože v oděvech hledáte svobodu soukromí, můžete v nich najít postroj a řetízek.

Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your raiment, Kéž by ses mohl setkat se sluncem a větrem s více svou kůží a méně oblečením,

For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind. Neboť dech života je ve slunečním světle a ruka života je ve větru.

Some of you say, “It is the north wind who has woven the clothes we wear.” Někteří z vás říkají: "Je to severní vítr, kdo utkal šaty, které nosíme."

And when his work was done he laughed in the forest. Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean.

And when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
