‘Censorship is the Mother of Metaphor’ — Jorge Luis Borges Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“Censorship is the mother of metaphor.” Borges lost his library post under Perón in the late 1940s and watched friends jailed over a slogan, so he meant this almost literally: forbid the plain word and a writer invents a sharper, sideways one. Constraint, in his account, breeds invention — the muzzle teaches the tongue to be clever.

**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).
