Twenty bridges from Tower to Kew โ (Twenty bridges or twenty two) โ Wanted to know what the River knew, For they were young, and the Thames was old And this is the tale that River told.
Rudyard KiplingAs I pass through my incarnations in every age and race... and the hearts of the meanest were humbled.
Rudyard KiplingWhen the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace. They swore, if we gave Them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease. But when we disarmed They sold us, and delivered us, bound, to our foe, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
Rudyard KiplingOH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at Godโs great Judgment Seat; But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, thoโ they come from the ends of the earth!
