In the desert <br />I saw a creature, naked, bestial, <br />Who, squatting upon the ground, <br />Held his heart in his hands, <br />And ate of it. <br /><br />I said, "Is it good, friend?" <br />"It is bitter - bitter," he answered; <br />"But I like it <br />Because it is bitter, <br />And because it is my heart."
