A god in wrath <br />Was beating a man; <br />He cuffed him loudly <br />With thunderous blows <br />That rang and rolled over the earth. <br />All people came running. <br />The man screamed and struggled, <br />And bit madly at the feet of the god. <br />The people cried, <br />"Ah, what a wicked man!" <br />And -- <br />"Ah, what a redoubtable god!"<br /><br />Stephen Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-god-in-wrath/
