Things Dearly Loved and Seldom Mentioned IV

(If this is going to be a regular feature, it really needs a catchier [and shorter] name). Also, more poetry today – this time from the author of The Red Badge of Courage. An Episode of the American Civil War.

 

A Man Said to the Universe
Stephen Crane

A man said to the universe:
“Sir, I exist!”
“However,” replied the universe,
“The fact has not created in me
“A sense of obligation.”
