In loose allwool garments with Harris tweed cap, price 8/6, and useful garden boots with elastic gussets and wateringcan, planting aligned young firtrees, syringing, pruning, staking, sowing hayseed, trundling a weedladen wheelbarrow without excessive fatigue at sunset amid the scent of newmown hay, ameliorating the soil, multiplying wisdom, achieving longevity.

James Joyce - Ulysses

I keep them distinct in my mind and I keep them distinct in my person. No animal substance inside, no vegetable without; what could be simpler or more logical? Nothing upon me but leather and allwool garments, within, cereals, fruit, nuts, herbs, and the like. Classification order man's function. He is here to observe and accentuate Nature's simplicity.

H. G. (Herbert George) Wells - A Modern Utopia
