Agreed. Kipling was a MASTER at capturing emotions... Read his “Last of the Light Brigade” and his poem on fighting in Afghanistan. Masterpieces! (And the Afghan one is STILL right on the mark. On the other hand, his “White Man’s Burden” is an ode to the sort of smug arrogance that made the Brits well and cordially hated ‘round the world.
