Rudyard Kipling - ContradictioRudyard Kipling - Contradictio
Work rating: Low


The drowsy carrier sways  To the drowsy horses` tramp. His axles winnow the sprays Of the hedge where the rabbit plays  In the light of his single lamp. He hears a roar behind,  A howl, a hoot, and a yell A headlight strikes him blind And a stench o`erpowers the wind  Like a blast from the mouth of Hell. He mends his swingle-bar  And loud his curses ring; But a mother watching afar Hears the hum of the doctor`s car  Like the beat of an angel`s wings! So, to the poet`s mood,  Motor or carrier`s wan, Properly understood, Are neither evil nor good—  Ormuzd not Ahriman!
