The Queue: Because it is bitter

One of my favorite poems is In the Desert by Stephen Crane. It’s a short poem, so I feel safe reproducing it here.

In the desert
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.”
Let’s answer some questions.

BlizzCaps: It’s good to be the king

"Last night I got my reputation with the Hand of the Prophet up high enough to be able to buy their cosmetic toybox item Karabor Councilor's Attire," writes submitter Paladave of Clan Wilkes on Garona (US-A). "I wasn't expecting to like the outfit as much as I do. In fact, with the nice circlet headgear, I actually felt more kingly than councilorly. That gave me the idea to stop by Varian's place and see how I measured up."
