This is getting too uncanny. The other poem I've posted today (not on SI, a different forum) is my absolute favourite... and it's Yeats' "Cloths of Heaven". Which is completely irrelevant to discussion but I'll post anyway because it's so fine. Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. I don't really read much other poetry, which is probably just as well <g> ---------- I did check the site, but didn't see that commentary... I'd say that Kipling was ambivalent on British imperialism, though, certainly later on; perhaps he thought it was simply the best available alternative? He certainly loved the 'classic' British character of the time, though. <edit> being fair, I see it's only a regular student interpretation... and not spellchecked either <g>
