"A Psalm of Historic Clothing"
"Historicity is my guide; I shall not guess.
It maketh me to measure accurately:
It leadeth me beside the primary sources.
It restoreth my wool:
It leadeth me in the paths of authenticity for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of synthetics,
I will take no messy shortcut: for thou art with me;
thy books and thy artworks, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a cutting table before me in the presence of my snarkers:
thou clothest my head with linen; my fabric box runneth over.
Surely style and fit shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell by the historically informed wardrobe for ever."
