Analysis of The Appeal
Rudyard Kipling 1865 (Mumbai) – 1936 (London)
It I have given you delight
By aught that I have done,
Let me lie quiet in that night
Which shall be yours anon:
And for the little, little, span
The dead are born in mind,
Seek not to question other than
The books I leave behind.
