That line hitting me just right just now. From this, by Stephen Crane (there was more to him than Red Badge of Courage - who the heck knew!?) Also this by him, perfect for this minute too:
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.
