Explore "A Death-Bed" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'This is the State above the Law. / The State exists for the State alone. ' / [_This is a gland at the back of the jaw,_ / _And an answering lump by the collar-bone._]
Some die shouting in gas or fire; / Some die silent, by shell and shot. / Some die desperate, caught on the wire; / Some die suddenly. This will not.
