This is a very Sydney story.

For the 37 years spanning 1930 to 1967, a man named Arthur Stace walked the streets of Sydney – and wrote on them; one word, always the same word, in yellow chalk in large, elegant copperplate.

That word was “Eternity.”

He worked before dawn (alone and in secret), travelling to a different neighbourhood every day. For decades this divine prank mystified the people of Sydney. They were an enigma. People grew up with them. Columnists wrote about them. Street sweepers went around them. Artists like Martin Sharp were inspired by them.

Before his conversion to Christianity in 1930, Arthur was a derelict alcoholic on the “edge of insanity.” Then one day at a Baptist Church he heard a noted give-em-Hell preacher shout to the congregation: “I wish I could shout "Eternity" through the streets of Sydney.” He repeated himself and kept shouting “Eternity, Eternity.” The words rang in Arthur's head as he left the church. He began to cry, bent down and wrote it for the first time. He knew what he had to do.

| An Aussie classic
I remember how touched I was when I first heard this story- it has stuck with me for many years. This would probably rank as my fave Remo tshirt design. Just one little suggestion - how about yellow lettering to tie in with the yellow chalk?

| A beautiful reminder
Having "Eternity" on a shirt certainly says something about the wearer!

| So Sydney!
I LOVE it! Reminds me of NYE on Sydney Harbour a few years ago, when the bridge had this message.

| I'm in love
I received my 'Eternity' t-shirt today (Friday, after ordering online Monday night!), and I'm completely in love! Fabulous quality, timeless design, great fit - I did hold my breath as I tried on the size 16 fitted style, praying it would be enough for my curvy figure. Perfect is all I have to say! Now my kids want to know when they get to pick their REMO t's!

| A must have in every wardrobe
Whether you are a Sydneysider or someone who has simply visited here, this is the t-shirt to have and beats any of those tourist shirts. Grab a long sleeve version for the long haul flight and arrive in style

| the subtle sydneysider
after so many years of student-poor lusting, I finally have one of these delicious shirts. it's the very essence of sydney (the nice bits). it's the best way of being proud of who you are when you're not a flag-waving chest-thumper (like the southern cross shirt). it's got the sort of meaning that can get you sniffy when you're homesick, but it's deep and meaningful too. sort of defiant and tender at the same time. and all this in a t-shirt!

| Sydney for Sydneysiders
I love Remo T-shirts, but this would have to be my all time favourite. Eternity and the tale behind it is quintessentially Sydney. I wear this when homesick, and instantly feel its power

| Hand writing, Love and fireworks!
At school my hand writing was illegible most of the time, And so growing up in Sydney, I was aware of a man who used to write the word "Eternity" in beautiful copperplate on the foot paths. I took my beau to celebrate the millenium in Sydney and the moment the word unfolded on the bridge was one we will never forget.. We climbed the bridge the next day (it was a good thing we were tied to it) and it actually made me a bit teary when I was able to buy the t-shirt for him as a surprise... (and to introduce him to the wonderful world of remo) I'm a beleiver in fate, so when I discovered remo on line, I made sure it was the first thing on my list.

I bought my original Eternity T in 1997 - I bought it because it reminds me of a course I did - the Wisdom Course through the LEC people Eternity is something we can all aspire to - see even Remo is Eternal - thank Goodness!

Doesn't get any better than being written in lights and surrounded by spectacular fireworks on the Sydney Harbour Bridge at the stroke of midnight as the third millennium commenced (OK, OK I know the millennium thing's arguable!).

It's wonderful to think that in such a busy, stressed out world. The simple things in life are the most moving. Very inspirational.

There is something about this statement which reveals a different side to Sydney, something away from the hedonism detialed in David Williamson's Emerald City. Maybe it reminds us that we are something simpler and calmer than the endless pursuit of the harbour frontage. Hopefully, Arthur Stace's legacy will stay with us always.

| Eternity in Haymarket
There was a particular time of year (maybe it was Easter) when we would go to mass as a family in the City (rather than in Kensington where we lived). On these occasions we would go to a church in Haymarket, and during this annual visits I would often see the Eternity messages on the footpaths. I remember that seeing them made me feel better than I felt when I was in the church.
