the fine linen

A fine fabric of high quality, specifically linen, distinguished by its whiteness and brightness. The term is mainly used for textiles made from flax fibers that have been processed to create an especially white and lustrous appearance, and are often woven in fine or twined forms. By extension, the word can refer to the appearance of whiteness or shining surface, which underlies its later use in reference to marble.
