If someone were to ask you if you liked your heart, you'd probably answer
yes. I have a good heart, meaning you love, or are charitable. But this man
has a bitter heart because he's an outcast, in the desert, there is no life
in the desert. Deep dude. Wow. Brilliant.

Among all living creatures, man is the only to willingly destroy himself.
Knowing what brings self destruction - yet engages in it anyways.

I think the poem can be about anything we indulge in, but to me it's about
depression. It's horribly painful, but you bury yourself in it because it's
comfortable. It's who you are so you just give in to it and you'd never
change it because it's special because it's yours. It's the depths of you.
That's what I think the poem's about.

Probably not the purpose of the poem, but what I recently found in it was
an explanation of human nature when it comes to love.
To love someone so much that it hurts; that it feels like you've exposed
your heart and eaten of it.
When you love someone you give them the power to hurt you, which is
bitter.
But it is also good.
Or;
"It is bitter-bitter, but I like it because it is bitter, and because it is
my heart."

A poem is a poem for a purpose. That innate purpose is to spark or tickle a
certain fancy within the reader in order for the reader to derive purpose
from the poem. The poem does not give purpose, nor does the poem stipulate
that a certain feeling or perception is manditory after reading it. This
poem is for the reader. The readers life, the readers situation, the
readers feelings, the readers perception is only stipulated by the
individual reader. There is no "right" or "wrong" answer. The reader
creates there own feeling; therefore your responses to the poem tells a
listener more about you then the poem.

main idea is: we are the way we are because we like it.
he's eating his heart which he says is bitter and bitter things usually
aren't good, however he likes it

Chris, it is precicely because we love Stephen Crane's poetry so much that
we will read it from the internet. We love it so much, that if we do not
have bookstores to find his work, credit cards to order his work, or enough
money to purchase it in the first place, then we will succomb a thousend
times to finding it on the internet without cost.
