Poem-A-Day: I saw a man pursuing the horizon by Stephen Crane

I saw a man pursuing the horizon
by Stephen Crane

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.

Today's poem is in the public domain.
Work by Crane
