'The best criticism renews our interest in an author, and that is what Mr Eliot has done in his remarkable essay which prefaces his own selection from Kipling's verse . . . a mature essay full of insight . . . Mr Eliot's essay is an admirable example of the finest type of criticism. He succeeds in making us look at his subject's work with freshly opened eyes and he is at once sober, illuminating and sound.' Spectator… (more)

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.
