Analysis of The Bronckhurst Divorce Case
Rudyard Kipling 1865 (Mumbai) – 1936 (London)
In the daytime, when she moved about me,
In the night, when she was sleeping at my side, --
I was wearied, I was wearied of her presence.
Day by day and night by night I grew to hate her --
Would God that she or I had died!
