The Poetry of R.E. Slater: Rudyard Kipling

"Autobiographies of great nations are written in three manuscripts – a book of deeds, a book of words, and a book of art. Of the three, I would choose the latter as truest testimony." - Sir Kenneth Smith, Great Civilisations

"I must write each day without fail, not so much for the success of the work, as in order not to get out of my routine." - Leo Tolstoy

I have never believed that one should wait until one is inspired because I think the pleasures of not writing are so great that if you ever start indulging them you will never write again. - John Updike

"The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it." - J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Poetry is the shadow cast by our streetlight imaginations." - Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Rudyard Kipling - Titled Works

Rudyard Kipling's Titled Works

Several selections may be made when reading an ebook.

I prefer the html5 version with images if available.

I will highlight my favs in "yellow".

A personal note... when reading James Fenimore Cooper (Colonial NJ/NY, 1789-1851), Rudyard Kipling (Raj India,1865-1936) and John le Carre (Post War England, 1931-2020) I find that each seem to share a familiar pen though they are separated in time by several generations from one another, had lived on separate continents, in differing cultures, and written in different genres (as given above). Yet, having read most of the three writer's works I feel there is a great familiarity between their story telling, characters and exploits. I came to Kipling first, then Cooper, and finally Le Carre. See what you think.... - re slater
