From the musical “Hair”:

  I would just like to say that it is my conviction
  That longer hair and other flamboyant affectations
  Of appearance are nothing more than the male's emergence
  From his drab camouflage into the gaudy plumage
  Which is the birthright of his sex

  There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage
  And fine feathers are not proper for the man
  When actually that is the way things are in most species

Through disenchanted materialistic lenses we can only see man plumage manifested in the physical world. Yet it is not the only way.
