ing expedition. And Kipling's imperial
muse is at her best when she sings
of petty wars with colored tribesmen.
Britains far-flung battle line was far
flung against Dervishers and Afrids;
it was seldom brought into collision
with field intrenchments and siege ar.
tillery. Little war. or else big wars
in anticipation of retrospect, these are
the rich soil for the poet.
A great war in the actual. the fate
of an empire truly at stake, may make
poets out OF the common crowd, but
subdues the poet to the level of the
common crowd. There is n solemn tone
about Kipling's latest verse which has
its effect. Only 1t is not exhortation
We wanted. but exultation: not an ap.
peal. but a clarion call. When an en-.
tire nation is aflame the poet is apt to
nd his mission rather perfunctory.
