‘In Art and Dream May’ — Patti Smith Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.” Patti Smith wrote this benediction in the 1970s, among the poems collected in Early Work — one clause for the page, where recklessness runs free, and one for the street, where it costs more. The split itself is the counsel: reserve your abandon for the art.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
