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.”

That's a nice quote. I read it the first time when I was maybe 13-14, and it's always felt very cool. That was over half my life ago now, and I still don't know what the quote actually came from. It was written by Stephen somebody, but that's all I can remember.

The choice of image is why I ignored the thread for so long. It's a nice poem, but I don't quite understand it.
