― Rudyard Kipling

― Rudyard Kipling

“I libri le aprivano mondi nuovi e le facevano conoscere persone straordinarie che vivevano una vita piena di avventure. Viaggiava su antichi velieri con Joseph Conrad. Andava in Africa con Ernest Hemingway e in India con Kipling. Girava il mondo restando seduta nella sua stanza, in un villaggio inglese.”
― Roald Dahl, Matilda

“The toad beneath the harrow knows
Where every separate tooth-point goes ;
The butterfly upon the road
Preaches contentment to that toad.”
― Rudyard Kipling, Complete Verse

“Body and spirit, I surrendered whole, To harsh Instructors- and received a soul.”

― Jorge Luis Borges

“Dad used to read aloud to us from Dickens and Kipling. My tastes were omnivorous. I read anything I could lay my hands on, but the memory that stays with me is that of my father reading the Jungle Books to us when we were young. Beautiful stories!”
― A. B. Guthrie, Jr.

“Time, that is intolerant
Of the brave and innocent,
And indifferent in a week
To a beautiful physique,

Worships language, and forgives
Everyone by whom it lives;
Pardons cowardice, conceit,
Lays its honours at his feet.

Time, that with this strange excuse,
Pardons Kipling and his views,
And will pardon Paul Claudel,
Pardons him for writing well.”
― W.H. Auden

“As Kipling said, that鈥檚 another story...”
― Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman

“The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk--
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.

The men of my own stock,
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wanted to,
They are used to the lies I tell;
And we do not need interpreters
When we go to buy or sell.

The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control--
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood.

The men of my own stock,
Bitter bad they may be,
But, at least, they hear the things I hear,
And see the things I see;
And whatever I think of them and their likes
They think of the likes of me.

This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.”
― Kipling Rudyard

“A m铆 me toc贸 ser adolescente en el tiempo en que se le铆a a Salgari. Hoy poca gente lo hace y es l谩stima. Pobre Emilio Salgari, atado al banco de galeote de un editor italiano, produciendo novelas y novelas sin t茅rmino sobre todo lo que en su tiempo pertenec铆a a la geograf铆a fabulosa. Del fondo de la memoria me vienen los nombres de su India y su Malasia. Sandokan, Y谩帽ez, Tremal Naik, Kammamuri, los 芦thugs禄 asesinos. Una geograf铆a de visiones.

Y tambi茅n el 芦Libro de la jungla禄 de Kipling. Lo que est谩 en alguna parte del nocturno, en invisible abajo, es la jungla de Kipling. Donde el tigre Shere-Kan bosteza y la pantera negra Bagheera se agazapa. La de Naga la cobra y Rikki-Tiki-Tavi la mangosta, la de los lobos de Seoanee y la de Bal煤 el oso y la del consejo de animales y los cantos de las tribus. Los que vamos dentro del mon贸tono tabaco del avi贸n ya no tenemos nada en com煤n con Mowgli, el ni帽o-lobo, y estamos desterrados de por vida de la geograf铆a de Salgari y de la zoolog铆a de Kipling.”
― Arturo Uslar Pietri, El globo de colores

“Its (the Left鈥檚) intensity derives from the fact that it鈥檚 a family largely composed of, in a manner of speaking, orphans of bhadralok history (for we hardly hear of the mothers and fathers of party members), brought together not by accident but by idealism and its cousin, ideology. Bonds of orphanhood and kinship are particularly charged (as Kipling showed us in The Jungle Book) when they are self-created, and each party member is probably a bit of everything 鈥� mother, father, sibling, friend 鈥� to every other member.”
― Amit Chaudhuri, Calcutta: Two Years in the City
