“I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.”
Stephen Crane book The Black Riders and Other Lines
Source: The Black Riders and Other Lines (1895), XXIV
Context: 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.
