Dorothy Hartley Quotes
A Modern Woman Sees A Piece Of Linen, But The Mediaeval Woman Saw Through It To The Flax Fields, She Smelt The Reek Of The Retting Ponds, She Felt The Hard Rasp Of The Hackling, And She Saw The Soft Sheen Of The Glossy Flax. Man Did Not See 'just Leather', He Saw The Beast - Perhaps One Of His Own - And Knew The Effort Of Slaughtering, Liming And Curing.
Communities Were Smaller And Whether Our Man Lived On The Outskirts Of Some Feudal System, Had Escaped From It, Or Was Entirely Isolated, He Would Work Alone, Or Daily With The Same Fellow-workers - Conversation Would Soon Languish.
But THINK He Must.
