 The Hudson Review | Clara Claiborne Park
Kipling’s centennial passed unnoticed in 1965, but the biographers are still conducting their uneasy negotiations between disapproval and admiration.
Kipling’s judgment if not his vitriol was in any case partly justified by the circumstances.” For Ricketts, the poem, “as nasty as the nastiest of Pope,” “could only have been written by a deeply troubled man.” One makes excuses for friends, perhaps also for prophets, but not before hearing what they have to say.
Kipling was a prophet whose prophecies were fulfilled too often to be mere coincidences: the Boers and apartheid, the Kaiser and a war, Hitler and another war, the Hindu-Muslim strife whenever Britain decided to withdraw from India—these and many other things were predicted by Kipling years, sometimes decades, before they happened.
