Incidently Sir Michael Caine's favourite poem. -

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]More about this quote: wist.info/kipling-rudyard/3744…

#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

And while we're on the subject of great John Huston movies, if you think Michael Caine and Sean Connery would be good together in a Huston adaption of a Kipling story, you would not be wrong. #Movies #ChunderRoad #Books #RudyardKipling

At School by #RudyardKipling.
They shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago.
Weather and rain have undone it again,
And now you would never know
There was once a road through the woods
Before they planted the trees.
It is underneath the coppice and heath,
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods,
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods.Yet, if you enter the woods
Of a summer evening late,
When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools
Where the otter whistles his mate,
(They fear not men in the woods,
Because they see so few.)
You will hear the beat of a horse’s feet,
And the swish of a skirt in the dew,
Steadily cantering through
The misty solitudes,
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods.
But there is no road through the woods. -
