I love Kipling's verse. On the one hand it is stirring imperial stuff, but reading carefully he is surprisingly ahead of his time in some of his social thinking. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
There are several reasons for our not knowing Kipling's poems so well as we think we do.
Quotations
'Gold is for the mistress---silver for the maid---

Copper for the craftsman cunning at his trade.
'

'Good!' said the Baron, sitting in his hall,

'But Iron---Cold Iron---is the master of them all.'
Now this is the Law of the Jungle---as old and as true as the sky;

And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.

As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back---

For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
