Harry returns to the land of his birthThe followers envy Harry’s sunglasses
Chapter 24
On the day that he landed in Philadelphia, jHarry was wearing a brand-new white suit,
2Which was just beautiful,
3In spite of being so white,
4And when one of the followers asked him why he always wore white suits,
5And a broad-brimmed white hat,
6And wraparound sunglasses,
7Even though he knew better,
8Harry just laughed and replied, You have heard it said that kclothes make the man,
9But I say to you, when my Way prevails, clothes will be the man,
10Because there won’t be anyone inside,
11Anymore.
12Now I ask you: If you aspired to be an empty suit,
13Which color would you choose?
14For myself, I do not desire to be seen as a lblue man,
15Or as a man made up of mshades of gray.
16Rather, I prefer to be taken for a man of great nillumination,
17oSpotless certainty,
18And pblameless unself-consciousness,
19Not to mention immense qgood humor.
20Beyond this, I have been told that a hat bestows authority,
21rUnless it carries the name of a sports team or a manufacturer of machine tools,
22While sunglasses, as you may have heard, are quite good at keeping the glare out of one’s eyes,
23Which can come in especially handy if one is about to ride in a great procession,
24On a bright day,
25In a snow-white convertible.
