The metaphor of "the fabric of life" is demonstrated by its textile implications. If life "unrolls" from beginning to end, so too does the industrial bolt of fabric.There is a repetition of patterns in both cases, but here the images grow in size, just as life develops from tiny embryo, to small body, to full-size person, and then is cut off in the middle at death. Life also evolves from the material and aspires to the spiritual.
