“Solitude is like a rain
That from the sea at dusk begins to rise;”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
“Solitude,” The Book of Images, 1902. Translated by Jessie Lemont, 1918. We check every line against a primary source.

In Rilke’s German, the opening sentence ends after “rain.” Lemont’s 1918 English runs it straight on, and so does the shirt.

One brushstroke climbs up through the words, the way the poem’s weather lifts off the sea.

Organic cotton.

Wear it on the walk you take alone, on purpose.
