Oops, sorry!
I didn't mean to cause a stir...
I just thought 'beclad' might be best used figuratively.
In recompense, I will add this, from Rocky Mountain Life, or Startling Scenes and Perilous Adventures in the Far West During an Expedition of Three Years, by Rufus B. Sage, published in 1857:
In many places it is quite sterile, producing little other than sand-burrs and a specimen of thin, coarse grass, that sadly fail to conceal its forbidding surface; in others, it is but little better than a desert waste of sand-hills or white sun-baked clay, so hard and impervious that neither herb nor grass can take root to grow upon it; and in others, it presents a light superfice, both rich and productive, beclad with all that can beautify and adorn a wilderness of verdure.
I know this looks like even more of a made-up quotation, but, hand on heart, I promise that it's not (at least by me). Apparently, you can purchase a facsimile edition on Amazon.
