poetry recommendation

Maybe it only works on me - I'm fairly sentimental and a fan of both Kipling and Cambridge - but I find I can't read http://www.poetryloverspage.com/poets/kipling/scholars.html with dry eyes. It's late Kipling, just after the World War.

Yes! I heart Kipling, grew up with my Dad reciting his stuff in place of lullabies. But there's also something that definitely draws me about the theme of mature students who've had a hard life and missed opportunities finally getting a shot at academia.

I love Kipling.

I didn't know that one.

Wow.
