Rudyard Kipling

It is pronounced Ruhd - yerd with the emphasis on the 1st syllable.

if is a marvelous poem written by Rudyard Kipling .in this poem the poet is telling to do his son those things which are impossible but if we implement those qualities in our selves we will become a perfect manand the earth will be ours .

There are many stories upon this poem .. it is said that a death had taken place inside the woods and from that time the woods have been closed and nobody is allowed to enter it .. This poem is written by Rudyard Kipling. In this poem Rudyard says that the road through the woods was shut down seventy years ago and due to the weather and the rain .. the road is completely ruined which is no more visible and now if you go there .. you will not even be able to know that once there used to be a road there. As said, now the road is under coppice and heath (small groups of trees and bushes) and the thin anemones (it is a name of a plant) and only the keeper sees the place where the ring-dove ( it is a name of a bird which resembles a pigeon) breeds and the badgers ( it is also a name of a bird) roll around everywhere .. There was once a road through the woods!

In the second paragraph the author says that even if you enter the woods now on a late summer evening when the night air cools on the trout-ringed pools ( it is a name of a fish) and the otter ( it is a name of a bird) whistles his mate (they are not scared of men because they see very few of them), You might hear the beat of a horse's feet and the swish of a skirt in the dew ( it is said so due to the mishappening that took place inside the woods) who are steadily cantering (trotting) through the misty lonely place as though they perfectly knew the way through the old lost road but now there is no road through the woods!

Rudyard Kipling's most famous book is "The Jungle Book," a collection of stories that feature Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. This iconic work has been adapted into numerous films and remains a timeless classic in children's literature.

The poem if is inspirational motivational and a set of rules for grown ups living . Kipling's if contains motto's and maxims for life and the poem is also a blueprint for personal integrity and self development . it is perhaps more relevant today than when he wrote it as an ethos and personal philosophy.

The power of self-confidence within the first four lines of the poem takes on an air equivalent to that of Socrates it his detachment from criticism:

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you

But make allowance for their doubting too,

Here is the real measure of individuality and self-worth the power to reject bitterness in the face of other people's wrath. The overwhelming reference to "you" or "your" which is used seven times within these four lines really has the affect of breaking out of the poem and speaking to the reader directly. There is a Jesus-like forgiveness within the last line of forgiving your foes, it is a higher understanding of how the world works, it grasps at the truth of human nature and makes "allowance" at the folly of others, not for their sake, but for your own.

Patience as a virtue and the correct way to speak and feel is of interest in the next four lines:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

Here patience is both taken as patience with others and with the world at large. True understanding is patience, and with dealing with others in the correct manner. The negativity of "hate" and "lying" are rejected absolutely by those who would seek to view the ways of the world from an open philosophic way of thinking. At the close of the poem the narrator warns though against the error of arrogance with such self-confidence and wisdom.

It is hard to ignore the conservative message that is evident within the whole of the next stanza:

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master,

If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on"; If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Hi there... I'll have a go. Kipling puts the notion that things are ordered to occur in the way that they do... from the begining of time. " before we smote the dark in twain" is the "big bang" of the beginning of time. The Rose falls for no apparent reason to the young boy who asks his father... Why did it fall? The Rose as it dies complains about its part in all of this but comes to realise that its death is simply a part of life and... whats more , its death has brought forth a question. Same as you have questioned and I have tried to Answer. Not bad , this guy was a genius. P PS to me there is no religious message here necessarily.. it depends on your view how you interpret the event.
