A quotation from Kipling

It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
 
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) English writer
School History, “Dane-Geld (A.D. 980-1016),” st. 3-4 (1911) [with C.R.L. Fletcher]

#RudyardKipling, morto il 18 gennaio di 90 anni fa, non è stato un unico #libro. A me ad esempio viene in mente l'estratto della poesia "If" all'ingresso dei campi di #Wimbledon. Ma anche se avesse scritto solo questo, tanta roba. Watch Il libro della giungla - StreamingCommunity https://streamingcommunityz.institute/it/watch/8895

> 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 honors at their feet.
> Time that with this strange excuse
Pardoned Kipling and his views,
And will pardon Paul Claudel,
Pardons him for writing well.
