| QUOTATION: | Sheets are fraught with meaning…. We cover the baby with them; hide nudity under them. Sheets are the beginning and the end: our first clothing (swaddling), and our last (the shroud). They are bandages in war, and rags when they’re worn out…. We spend more time in contact with sheets than with any other item we own; they are almost a second skin. |
