In 1890 we were saying to each other, with a sense of freemasonry in a new cult: \"But that is another story.\" Today we are exhorting each other to: \"Take up the white man's burden.\"The value of each phrase is about the value of Mr. Kipling's reputation in 1890 and 1899, respectively. He was breaking me into harness, and I owe him a deep debt of gratitude, which I did not discharge at the time. The path of virtue was very steep, whereas the writing of verses allowed a certain play to the mind, and, unlike the filling in of reading matter, could be done as the spirit served. Now, a subeditor is not hired to write verses: he is paid to subedit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyan Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46195030524055,"sku":"9788121294515","price":579.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788121294515.webp?v=1769299635","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rudyard-kipling-a-criticism-9788121294515","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
