In the desert

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

es el corazón del Hombre de todos los tiempos.
