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

“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.
