Thanks for the suggestions. I had already flagged "It has returned, or 
I'm a norska" as good fodder for a quote shirt in my most recent re-read 
of Viscount, and it's nice to hear someone else with the same notion. I 
might put a glowing, ghostly orb in the background....

I don't think "I think in Paarfi" is long enough to capture the essence 
of that most authoritative, eloquent, and, dare I suggest, voluble of 
historians. I might offer the following suggestion:

"The wearer of this shirt, while by no means claiming to be that most 
eminent of historians, nevertheless does themselves the honor to suggest 
that they very nearly think in the mode favored by the eloquent (and 
some might suggest voluble) scholar and author, Paarfi of Roundwood." Or 
something like that. (Further suggestions welcome.)

Sorry about the "themselves" and "they," but I excuse them on the 
grounds that Dragaeran apparently has a genderless pronoun, and this is 
the closest equivalent that colloquial English offers. At least, in my 
opinion.

I like most of the other suggestions, too, though I think "I left my 
heart..." is already covered with Adrilankha (which fits the meter 
better, as well).
