“And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.”
Bible
“And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.”
“And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.”
“Through tattered clothes small vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide them all”
William Shakespeare
“There's enough filth on my robes without you touching them.”
Joanne Kathleen Rowling
“And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod: / And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.”
“We placed the wreaths upon the splendid granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us, loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe, yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!”
Queen Victoria
