As a wonder-loving and wonder-seeking man, Teufelsdrockh, from an early part of this Clothes–Volume, has more and more exhibited himself. Striking it was, amid all his perverse1 cloudiness, with what force of vision and of heart he pierced into the mystery of the World; recognizing in the highest sensible phenomena2, so far as Sense went, only fresh or faded Raiment; yet ever, under this, a celestial3 Essence thereby4 rendered visible: and while, on the one hand, he trod the old rags of Matter, with their tinsels, into the mire5, he on the other everywhere exalted6 Spirit above all earthly principalities and powers, and worshipped it, though under the meanest shapes, with a true Platonic7 mysticism. What the man ultimately purposed by thus casting his Greek-fire into the general Wardrobe of the Universe; what such, more or less complete, rending8 and burning of Garments throughout the whole compass of Civilized9 Life and Speculation10, should lead to; the rather as he was no Adamite, in any sense, and could not, like Rousseau, recommend either bodily or intellectual Nudity, and a return to the savage11 state: all this our readers are now bent12 to discover; this is, in fact, properly the gist
