What is this thing of considerable size <br />That lies within our chest: <br />The heart, <br />That goes on beating, beating, <br />Full its part? <br /> <br />A man once said to me, <br />'You should be glad that you <br />Don't have to tell that thing to beat.' <br />And I cringed a child's wonder <br />At how much I really had to say about it. <br />Not much.<br /><br />Edward Steinhardt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/genesis-8/
