"φαίνεταί μοι κῆνος — He seems to me equal to the gods."

Sappho of Lesbos wrote this around 600 BCE, and 2,600 years later it's still the most exact poem ever written about desire. Watching someone she loves talk with another, the poet feels her tongue break, a thin fire run under her skin, her ears ring, her eyes go dark — love catalogued as it happens to the body. Catullus loved it so much he translated it into Latin; we've been reading it ever since.

The design: a lyre and Sappho's famous first line in the original Greek and English on the chest — and the complete poem on the back, her Greek beside a public-domain English translation. Printed on light shirts so the fine linework stays crisp.
