      Die Leinwand kann sich also nicht zum Rock als einem Werthding verhalten oder nicht auf den Rock als Werth bezogen werden, ohne auf ihn als einen Körper bezogen zu werden, dessen einziger Stoff aus menschlicher Arbeit besteht.
      Thus the linen cannot relate to the coat as a thing having value, or cannot be related to the coat as value, without relating to it as a body whose sole substance consists in human labour.
