"I think it's a sin to sit down and let your life go, without making a try for it."

By: Stephen Crane

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who squatting upon the groud,
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."
