"A matter of taste"

Ah, Kipling, sitting there listening to the paddles chunking, thinking of his Burma girl, turning aside from the beefy face and grubby hands of the Chelsea housemaids, just akipling (eating his kippers), dropping behind the battle with a bullet where his breastplate ought to have been. I don't think it's a matter of taste, I think it's a matter of testosterone, appealing to soldiers and sailors too. Both T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound loved Kipling and hated themselves for loving him. It has always been the touchstone of a superior critical sense.
