‘We Especially Need Imagination in Science’ — Maria Mitchell Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.” Maria Mitchell — the first professional woman astronomer in America, who discovered a comet in 1847 — set this down in her journal around 1871, insisting the discipline runs on imagination as much as arithmetic. She saw poetry and proof as neighbors: science needs the leap of beauty as much as the rigor of logic.

**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).
