Adornment of Being

 

CLOTHES are said to being significance? Creatures who are in the habit of walking about in a dressed condition carry with them their own picture mirrored in their consciousness, and for them their clothes are no less essential than their body. I fancy that the great men are rare (just as the fools are many) who have not at one time or another found their own external style and then been true to it.

My divine gift of vanity brought many a good thing in its wake. Anyone who has brought his costume and his nature into harmony satisfies not only his personal and aesthetic requirements, not only his consideration for his fellows he has found in fact a means of expression for himself. 

Why does a sensitive person change his clothes before joining the social throng of his fellows? Because in changing his garments he changes' the man within them. And in the same way the discovery of an external style renders the inner being free. No one is really without vanity, nor should he be every one looks at himself being the glass.

Clothes trivial, you say?

Yet woven deep into our essence,

mirrors we carry reflecting who we become, who we are.

Rare is the soul, Great or beautiful like me,

Who have founded my style remaining perfecting fucking faithful.

O Vanity divine, a gift granting expression,

Symphony in garment loving self,

Truth in my art full feelingly becoming.

The sensitive spirit dressing anew appears?

For in changing cloth, one transforms begin within.

Internal External elegance liberating inner grace,

For looking enjoying being Fathers great ideal son, the mirror:

Smiles smiling happy loving One.
