Explore "The Story of Ung" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Once, on a glittering ice-field, ages and ages ago, / Ung, a maker of pictures, fashioned an image of snow. / Fashioned the form of a tribesman -- gaily he whistled and sung, / Working the snow with his fingers. _Read ye the Story of Ung! _
Pleased was his tribe with that image -- came in their hundreds to scan -- / Handled it, smelt it, and grunted: "Verily, this is a man! / Thus do we carry our lances -- thus is a war-belt slung. / Lo! it is even as we are. Glory and honour to Ung!"
