The Heart

In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hand
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 The Heart

You can't lose with a quote from Stephen Crane. I like this piece a lot. Very striking.

I just discovered him. I found it yesterday and couldn't help myself from doing a quick drawing. Looking forward to reading more.
