Sewing at once a double thread, a shroud as well as a shirt

Thomas Hood was a renowned English poet and humorist known for his wit and clever wordplay. One of his most famous lines comes from his poem "The Song of the Shirt," where he writes, "Sewing at once a double thread, a shroud as well as a shirt." This powerful image captures the dual nature of the seamstress's work, as she toils away creating both clothing and burial garments.
