Annaliese's review
rating:
I ran out of stuff to read in Argentina and the English language selections were limited. I'm glad I picked this one up again though. It had been a long time since I'd read Kipling, and my favorite part of the book is still the opening poem:
Now Chill the Kite brings home the night
That Mang the bat sets free--
The herds are shut in byre and hut
For loosed till dawn are we.
This is the hour of pride and power,
Talon and tush and claw.
Oh, hear the call!--Good hunting all
That keep the Jungle Law!
Now Chill the Kite brings home the night
That Mang the bat sets free--
The herds are shut in byre and hut
For loosed till dawn are we.
This is the hour of pride and power,
Talon and tush and claw.
Oh, hear the call!--Good hunting all
That keep the Jungle Law!
