The writer Henry Miller was the son of a tailor. I just noticed this quote tonight in his book "Nexus". Perhaps you are already familiar with it: "Thus far in my life I had met only two writers whom I could call artists: John Cowper Powys and Frank Harris. The former I knew through attending his lectures; the latter I knew in my role of merchant tailor, the lad, in other words, who delivered his clothes, who helped him on with his trousers."
