LiveJournal Tags: Palin and Kipling
In today’s NYT, Mr. Cohen brought together the written word of Rudyard Kipling and the quoted words of VP candidate, Gov. Palin.
At first, I thought this was going to be quite a thin stretch. However, it did connect, however tenuously. 
Each year, on his birthday, I read the poem If by Kipling to my son. Each year I ask him “Now, what does it mean to you?”
Each year he puts a different slant to his answer, showing a broader understanding of the world.
He will be able to vote in not this but the next Presidential election. Perhaps now I should have him read all of the poems, especially those quoted in today’s Op-Ed Column written by Mr. Cohen.
