" . . . the body, a mysterious theater which provides a stage for
all exchange - whether of matter, mind, or the senses - between
inner and outer worlds." Michel Leiris
"Men are properly said to be clothed with Authority, clothed with Beauty,
with Curses, and the like. Nay, if you consider it, what is Man himself
and his whole terrestrial Life, but an emblem; a Clothing or visible
Garment for that divine ME of his, cast hither, like a light-particle,
down from Heaven? Thus he is said also to be clothed with a Body."
- Thomas Carlyle - "Sartor Resartus"
