these pieces are long forgotten,still such poems as 'Boots' and 'The 'Eathen' will be well remembered. I love the poems ' The Glory of the Garden ' and 'Gunga Din'. Some,including this last maybe considered not to be politically correct in this day-and-age,but if read carefully,they will be seen to be full of respect for native troops ect.
Many will deride what is probably Kipling's most well-known piece 'IF----',but again if you read it carefully and take in his words,you will not go very far wrong,I believe. "If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more-you'll be a man,my son!

While not everything he wrote was great --- sometimes he reminds me of Beerbohm's cartoon of Kipling on the town with his girl Britannia -- there is enough funny, moving and beautiful stuff in here to last me a lifetime.
