Kipling is hands down the greatest master of the English language since Shakespeare. Unappreciated master, at that.

I agree, but I would argue that Robert Service is a close second.

I’ll admit that I had never read Service before. I pulled a few selections off Amazon for my kindle, and it’s really good stuff. Kipling is, and always will be, the top of the heap for me, but thanks for turning me on to Service’s writings.
