on The White Man's Burden by Rudyard Kipling, on December 6, 2006
Chillingly prophetc.
As with many of Kipling's patriotic works, this is an amazing prophecy which, written over a century ago, vividly describes the current attitudes of many countries toward Britain and America who have fought to secure their freedom.
The future will provide the outcome, history will record it and The Almighty will judge it. -
on M'Andrew's Hymn by Rudyard Kipling, on December 6, 2006
Incredibly imaginative.
This long poem aptly displays the vivid imagination which made Kipling the great writer of his age. The terminology, the vernacular and the intimacy with which the poet portrays the thoughts of this imaginary seafarer are so real as to convince the reader that Kipling is writing about himself. -
on Chant-Pagan by Rudyard Kipling, on December 6, 2006
Powerfully imaghinative.
This poem surely describes the fate of many a discharged soldier who, returning home after a life of excitement, adventure and comradeship, finds the climate and life in England dreary by comparison and yearns to go back.
Although Kipling did not serve as a soldier, he certainly met with many who did and his imagination, together with his dislike for the English climate and his yearning to return to India, give his poems such as this, a personal and convincing touch of realism.
BRILLIANT!
A poem such as this, with its superlative technique and inventive, imaginative rhyming, almost persuades me to give up writing myself.But, no doubt, I shall continue in my comparative mediocrity.
