Man, the straggling bifurcate animal, discovered in Eden that he was really ugly… and he has been trying to hide himself ever since, in fig-leaves and phrases, philacteries and philosophies. That shall provide the tramp’s motto: a fig-leaf and a phrase. But, oh, Sartor, oh, Mr. Mallaby-Deeley, a stout fig-leaf!
from “Clothes,” The Gentle Art of Tramping by Stephen Graham
