Rudyard Kipling - Toomai of the ElephantsRudyard Kipling - Toomai of the Elephants
Work rating: Low


I will remember what I was. I am sick of rope and chain—  I will remember my old strength and all my forest-affairs. I will not sell my back to man for a bundle of sugarcane.  I will go out to my own kind, and the wood-folk in their lairs. I will go out until the day, until the morning break,  Out to the winds `untainted kiss, the waters` clean caress. I will forget my ankle-ring and snap my picket-stake.  I will revisit my lost loves, and playmates masterless!
