Sonnet 18 Tee - Shall I compare thee to a summers day - Shakespeare | Palimpsest

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"

The most quoted love poem in English — and it isn't really about the beloved at all. Shakespeare spends fourteen lines proving that summer fades, beauty fades, everything fades, then makes his claim: this poem will outlast all of it. Four hundred years on, he's still right.

The design: an engraved sun with the opening line — and the complete sonnet on the back. Printed on garment-dyed cotton.

The blank: Comfort Colors® 1717 — 100% ring-spun US cotton, garment-dyed for soft, broken-in colour, heavyweight 6.1 oz, relaxed unisex fit, sizes S–4XL.
