It is among a dozen or so I have committed to memory. Lewis Carrol's Jabberwocky, Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening and Edwin Arlington Robinson's Richard Cory are a few of my other favorites - all for very different reasons. Poe's The Bells is another favorite - also for different reasons than the others.

The poem IF sustained me in my youth as no other poem did. It helped me find my way as a fatherless child. I will always see Kipling as a friend when I needed one. I cannot think of a single published work of his that I have not read - and he published a great deal.

"Because I SAY I am" is a todler's tantrum, not "science"

You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.
