Greg Olear's Prevail newsletter this morning is a wonderful word picture of Stephen Crane's life, touching on his works, and quoting in full his short poem that ends with,
""Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.”"The whole newsletter is a delight. Here is a link.

In the Desert by Stephen Crane.
(again, sorry).
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.’#art #chickenscratching #depression #drawing #poem #scribble #stephencrane #אומנות #בולשיט #ציור #קישקוש #שירה

In the desert
by Stephen Crane
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.”
