English Poetry. Stephen Crane. I saw a man pursuing the horizon. Стивен Крейн.

Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
”It is futile,” I said,
”You can never -”

”You lie,” he cried,
And ran on.

Stephen Crane’s other poems:

1. With eye and with gesture
2. The ocean said to me once
3. Tell brave deeds of war
4. Once I saw mountains angry
5. I stood upon a highway
