Rudyard Kipling, "prophet of blood and vulgarity, prince of ephemerals and idol of the unelect," — as a Chicago critic chortles, — is dead.
Rudyard Kipling of the nineteenth century has sung of "things as they are." He has seen life as it is, "taken it up squarely," in both his hands, and looked upon it.
Primarily, Kipling has stood for the doer as opposed to the dreamer — the doer, who lists not to idle songs of empty days, but who goes forth and does things, with bended back and sweated brow and work- hardened hands.
