Tooth and Claw T-Shirt

These lines from Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s long poem “In Memoriam” were written to lament the death of his close friend, but they also express dismay at the seemingly cruel and meaningless natural world. The poet wonders if life is savagery, represented here by a Victorian illustration of a lion’s skeleton, and is unable to find any answers.

The shirt reads:

Nature, red in tooth and claw

With ravine, shriek’d against his creed –

What hope of answer, or redress?

Behind the veil, behind the veil.

• The ivory and red color scheme evokes antique books.
• Soft 100% cotton will keep you comfortable as you contemplate the eternal.

Get it now, and peer “behind the veil.”
