The Heart

 

                                       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."

            

                                                    -- Stephen Crane
