Loathsome Deliciousness
Be seen. Hopefully be heard. Hopefully be hard, though hopefully not hardened.
This shirt has an Aristotle bodybuilder on the front. Notice his gray hair, the "A" on his hat, and the purple color of his posing trunks (a color that only rich people wore in the ancient world). The text over top of him is: "Violent delights have violent ends." The text on the back is: "The sweetest honey is loathesome in its own delciiousness." It is damn near verbatim of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 6, where Friar Lawrence speaks to Romeo about his love. The Friar will officiate a wedding between Romeo and Juliette, but he warns that this is something serious. He says:
These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
Even honey sours when you have too much of it, even love can turn violent when it is unrestrained passion and inconsiderate of context.
On the left sleeve is aristhottle, written in an old English font, and the right sleeve has a black and white version of my Aristotle ahegao emote.
This is printed on a Gildan shirt, so it is thin. This is good for warmer climates.
ART CREDITS
I came up with the concept for the Aristotle ahegao, and the art was created by barbedhead.
The Aristotle bodybuilder is a riff on a famous meme. I came up with the modifications to make it my own. Jibran Israr made the vector graphic.
