I saw a man pursuing the horizon (Stephen Crane)

This poem is attributed to Stephen Crane. I never read any of his books, so I can't tell if this poem is like his other writing. But this one is short, easy to understand, philosophical and hysterical.

Unrelated. But this poem reminded me of Alice in Wonderland's Caucus Race. The important silliness of it.

I seriously kind of burst out laughing at the conclusion. I pictured this crazy, long bearded man (like someone ship wrecked) yelling "you lie" as he passed the speaker. Funny funny.

Favorite line: "I was disturbed at this; / I accosted the man."

I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.

I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
