In The Desert Poem by Stephen Crane
In The Desert
Rating: ★4.0
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."

Though, very unlikely, I like the theme and the narrative that brings to fore the enigma of human nature. Thanks.
