“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, Complete Poems of Stephen Crane

Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.”

“A man said to the universe: 'Sir, I exist!'
'However,' replied the universe.
'The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation.”
― Stephen Crane, War Is Kind and Other Poems
'However,' replied the universe.
'The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation.”
― Stephen Crane, War Is Kind and Other Poems
“When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples.”
― Stephen Crane, The Open Boat
