Correction: I was thinking of the phrase "the lesser breeds without the law" which appears in Kipling's "Recessional"--the poem used for Victoria's Jubilee and included in Anglican hymnals . Haven't looked at a hymnal recently but I imagine this phrase has been changed or removed. Auden referred to Kipling's jingoism when he wrote his "In Memory of W. B. Yeats." Quoting from memory-- Time that is intolerant Of the brave and innocent, And indifferent in week To a beautiful physique, Worships language, and forgives Everyone by whom it lives, Pardons cowardice, conceit, Lays its honors at their feet. Time that with this strange excuse Pardoned Kipling and his views, And will pardon Paul Claudel Pardon him for writing well. After a while Auden decided to take all three of these stanzas out of the poem, so you won't find them there any more.
