Something i owe to the soil that grew-more to the life that fed-but most to allah who gave me two separate sides of my head. i would go without shirt or shoes, friends, tobacco, or bread sooner than for an instant lose either side of my head.

More From Rudyard Kipling

Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors. can it be by accident that all birds beasts & men have their right side & left side alike shaped (except in their bowels) & just two eyes & no more on either side the face & just two ears on either side the head & a nose with two holes & no more between the eyes & one mouth under the nose & either two fore legs or two wings or two arms on the shoulders & two legs on the hips one on either side & no more?

What is an "instant" death anyway? how long is an instant? is it one second? ten? the pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. what the hell is instant? nothing is instant. instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. i doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.
Pain Real Heart
It was like time would stop, and the dancer would sort of step through some kind of portal and he wasn't doing anything different than he had ever done, 1,000 nights before, but everything would align. and all of a sudden, he would no longer appear to be merely human. he would be lit from within, and lit from below and all lit up on fire with divinity. and when this happened, back then, people knew it for what it was, you know, they called it by it's name. they would put their hands together and they would start to chant, "allah, allah, allah, god god, god." that's god, you know.
Night Fire Hands
To reconcile conflicting parties, we must have the ability to understand the suffering of both sides. if we take sides, it is impossible to do the work of reconciliation. and humans want to take sides. that is why the situation gets worse and worse. are there people who are still available to both sides? they need not do much. they need do only one thing: go to one side and tell all about the suffering endured by the other side, and go to the other side and tell all about the suffering endured by this side. this is our chance for peace. but how many of us are able to do that?

There sure are a lot of these 'instant' products on the market. instant coffee, instant tea, instant pudding, instant cereal... instant dislike.

No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.
