| Paul Signac - Red Silk Stockings - 1935 |
"Whoso wishes to see the spectre of a future husband can do so by performing the following rite. Retire to bed just before midnight, as quietly as possible. Remove the left garter, and tie it round the right stocking, while doing so repeat the following :
This knot I knit, to know the thing I know not yet
That I may see, the man that shall my husband be,
How he goes, and what he wears,
And what he does all days and years.
That I may see, the man that shall my husband be,
How he goes, and what he wears,
And what he does all days and years.
During the night, the future "he" will appear dressed in his ordinary attire, carrying some badge of his trade or profession."
Hewett 1900
