Sartor Resartus good many won't want to read it
ALL but every intelligent young and old person will
great deal Of It, majority reading it ALL because Of the
beauty of style.
Carlyle tells you that only bpeds without feathers
He shows you what king would be If he took off his crown
his royal robes Of ermine and his decorations
To be perfectly frank almost shudder to think what
King George Of England would look like If he appeared the
House Of Lords open Parliament dressed Miss Bankhad
Is dressed in this picture,
We are such things clothes made Of and little
life Is made possible and happy BY good tailoring.
That's the moral Of this.
