What of the hunting, hunter bold?
- Brother, the watch was long and cold.
What of the quarry ye went to kill?
- Brother, he crops in the jungle still.
Where is the power that made you pride?
- Brother, it ebbs from my flank and side.
Where is the haste that ye hurry by?
- Brother, I go to my lair to die.
Rudyard Kipling, 1894
