The quote I want (and can't locate, being 
'puter-illiterate) is the one by John Ruskin, which starts something 
like:
"The real good of lace, then..."

Can someone find it for me, in full, pretty please? Date and source 
(publication) gratefully accepted :)
Thanks for pointing me/us in this direction, Tamara...

Excerpt

The real good of a piece of lace, then, you will find, is that it should 
show, first, that the designer of it had a pretty fancy; next, that the maker 
of 
it had fine fingers; lastly, that the wearer of it has worthiness or dignity 
enough to obtain what is difficult to obtain, and common sense enough not to 
wear it on all occasions. 
John Ruskin, "A Joy Forever" (1857)
