Just a heads up. It looks like Kipling didn't write this. It's not listed in any the lists of his work I can find. However, it is closely associated with Storm Front, a far right wing nationalist outfit. I can't say for sure Kipling didn't write it, because in these politically correct days it may have been left off the list of his works because of the content. But it looks like a hoax, alas.
I looked on net for some attribution and found the sites like you mentioned but I found 1 that wasn't like those, so I thought it was good. The reason I was suspicious was this is easier to read than the actual Kipling I've tried to read. Embarrassing.
I see the picture but then there's just a big blank space.
ReplyDeleteSorry, thought I had the formatting fixed, it shows up now but I still can't figure out why the white box is around it.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing this for years and I still get weird effects I didn't intend. I think it just goes with the territory.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard that before, and I'm a big Kipling fan. I expect because it's not politically correct. Thanks for posting it.

Looks like this may be a "plagiarized" version of The Beginnings;
