The Years Between

I

These new poems are the result of the master

poet's mature inspiration and best-considered thought on the events of the world as it is to-day, and show an insight into heart of man more penetrating than anything he has heretofore written. Some of the better-known poems included are "Gethsemane," "Justice," "A Pilgrim's Way," "The Female of the Species," "France," etc.

In speaking of Kipling and "The Years Between,"
Brander Matthews says-

"He here reveals once again that the poet is a prophet
and the singer a seer. There are stanzas that stir the
blood like the sound of the trumpet and there are lines
that lift up the soul. Kipling is the master balladist of
our time; he has recaptured the spirit of the old unknown
bards who sang their stories into being; and he has made
his profit out of all the later and more literary balladists.
He has the singing simplicity, the straightforward direct-
ness of the folk singers and also a dexterity of craftsman-
ship, a command of rhyme and rhythm unachieved by
any of the more modern masters."

Where there are fires against the cold,
Or roofs against the rain-

With love fourfold and joy fourfold
Take them my songs again.

FOREWORD

HIS Index has been compiled from the Authorized
American trade edition of Rudyard Kipling's

works, all of which are published by Doubleday, Page and Company with the exception of the First and Second JUNGLE BOOKS and CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS, which are issued by The Century Company.

This Index contains only such works as Mr. Kipling has authorized and desires to preserve.

It is issued gratuitously by Doubleday, Page and Company for the benefit of those who are interested in the work of Mr. Kipling. The Index is not for sale; it may be had by any one who requests it, and forwards five cents for postage.

Those consulting the Index would do well to note the following:

Every title is indexed under the first word, disregarding the article, except first lines of verse. Some titles are also indexed under the second and third important words when necessary.

iii

In the case of short stories and verses a full list of contents follows each book title. There is also a separate entry for each of the contents with a cross-reference to the volume which contains it.

Verses without titles occurring in the course of a volume are indexed under their first lines, when of sufficient importance to require a separate entry.

Attention is directed to the entry in the Index "AMERICAN NOTES," under which are summarized the contents of Mr. Kipling's letters upon things American.

No attempt has been made in the body of the Index to specify editions or prices of the books. This information will be found at the end of the Index in a complete advertisement of the Authorized trade editions.

of a steamer, so there is but one man

in charge of a newspaper, and he is the editor. My chief taught me this on an Indian journal, and he further explained that an order was an order, to be obeyed at a run, not a walk, and that any notion or notions as to the fitness or unfitness of any particular kind of work for the young had better be held over till the last page was locked up to press. He was breaking me into harness, and I owe him a deep debt of gratitude, which I did not discharge at the time. The path of virtue was very steep, whereas the writing of verses allowed a certain play to the mind, and, unlike the filling in of reading matter, could be done as the spirit served. Now a sub-editor is not hired to write verses. He is paid to sub-edit.
