Poems on the Underground: Stephen Crane

Last night, while there was still some semblance of a Tube service, I was privileged to read the following poem:

I saw a man pursuing the horizon

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.

Stephen Crane
