And lose, and start again at your beginnings 
And never breathe 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 w'£,lk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neilher 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!
Kipling returned from America to England and lived in a 
little Sussex village. During the South African war (1899-1902) 
Kipling supported the policy of British expansion. His beliefin 
empire and his admiration for force damaged his literary 
reputation. But still he was highly appreciated as a talented 
master o f fiction and poetry. In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel 
Prize for literature. He is the first Englishman and the first 
writer who has received this prize.
The death ofhis son during World War I affected him strongly


and made him almost silent. His works of later period “Mary 
Postage” (1915) and “The Gardener” (1926) evidently show his 
hatred of war.
A great artist and realist, Rudyard Kipling, died on January 
17, 1936 when he w'as at work on a collection o f autobiographi­
cal notes. The notes were published a year after his death under 
the title “Something o f M yself’.
