In the Desert by Stephen Crane

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;

“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”

One of my favorite poems...

In the Desert
By Stephen Crane

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;

“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”

Still my favorite poet. Check out I Saw a Man Pursuing the Horizon; There Was a Man With Tongue of Wood; In the Desert; A Man Feared That He Might Find an Assassin. Just for starters. Enjoy😊

Favorite poet ever. I could meditate on any of his poems for hours.
Because I ❤️ his poetry so much, I still haven't read any of his prose - can't risk ruining it.
