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.”
Bir yaratık gördüm, çıplak vahşi. Çömelmiş oturuyor Yüreğini ellerinde tutuyor Yiyordu. Dedim ki: “tadı güzel mi dostum?” “Acı, acı,” diye karşılık verdi; “Ama seviyorum Çünkü acı Ve benim kalbim.”
