Kipling - Poems
And if I don't take care of myself?

"I really could not say. One cannot ascertain the exact amount of injury
inflicted by the sword-cut. The scar is an old one, and--exposure to the

"I beg your pardon, but it has come without any warning. If you will

eyeballs.
"Little dorglums, we aren't at all well. Let's go home. If only Torp
