Re: He Travels Fastest . . .

["Michael Tombs" <Michael.Tombs@tesco.net>]

Rudyard Kipling
White hands cling to the bridle rein,
Slipping the spur from the booted heel;
Tenderest voices cry 'Turn again!'
Red lips tarnish the scabbarded steel;
Down to Gehenna or up to the Throne,
He travels fastest who travels alone.
