If–Rudyard Kipling (1856-1936)



If–Rudyard Kipling (1856-1936)
Þ          Poetry is one of the oldest arts. It has twin functions, ‘to please and to teach to reader’. Sometime it gives pleasing and something it gives teaching through pleasing. The poem ‘If’ is the best examples of this type of poetry. It is written by Rudyard Kipling. He was a very famous poet of early part of the twentieth century and was awarded Noble prize in 1907.
Þ          The poem ‘If’ is an extract from a longer poem ‘If’. It is a simple poem and like a piece of instruction in which a father is giving to his son so that his son’s moral character would be improved. Thus the poem shows simple faith and clear understanding.
