Explore "Arithmetic on the Frontier" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A great and glorious thing it is / To learn, for seven years or so, / The Lord knows what of that and this, / Ere reckoned fit to face the foe -- / The flying bullet down the Pass, / That whistles clear: "All flesh is grass."
Three hundred pounds per annum spent / On making brain and body meeter / For all the murderous intent / Comprised in "villainous saltpetre! " / And after -- ask the Yusufzaies / What comes of all our 'ologies.
