The numerous colourless Greek statues, still in existence, are apt at first sight to impress us with an idea that the Grecian attire was most simple and uniform in its hue, but the Greek vases found buried in tombs, the paintings dug out of Herculaneum and of Pompeya, and even a few statues in marble and in bronze, enriched with stained or with inlaid borders, incontestably prove that the stuffs were equally gaudy in their colours and varied in their patterns
Why don't I wear this kind of thing more
