ms of Mr. Rudyard Kipling have all the spirit and swing of
their predecessors. Throughout they are instinct with the qualities
which are essentially his, and which have made, and seem likely to
keep, for him his position and wide popularity."--_London Times._
"He has the very heart of movement, for the lack of which no metrical
science could atone. He goes far because he can."--_London Academy._
"'The Seven Seas' is the most remarkable book of verse that Mr. Kipling
has given us. Here the human sympathy is broader and deeper, the
patriotism heartier and fuller, the intellectual and spiritual insight
keener, the command of the literary vehicle more complete and sure,
than in any previous verse work by the author. The volume pulses with
power--power often rough and reckless in expression, but invariably
conveying the effect intended. There is scarcely a line which does not
testify to the strong individuality of the writer."--_London Globe._
"If a man holding this volume in his hands, with all its extravagance
and its savage realism, is not aware that it is animated through and
through with indubitable genius--then he must be too much the slave
of the conventional and the ordinary to understand that Poetry
metamorphoses herself in many diverse forms, and that its one sovereign
and indefeasible justification is--truth."--_London Daily Telegraph._
"'The Seven Seas' is packed with inspiration, with humor, with pathos,
and with the old unequaled insight into the mind of the rank and
file."--_London Daily Chronicle._
"Mr. Kipling's 'The Seven Seas' is a distinct advance upon his
characteristic lines. The surpassing strength, the almost violent
originality, the glorious swish and swing of his lines--all are there in
increased measure.... The book is a marvel of originality and genius--a
brand-new landmark in the history of English letters."--_Chicago Tribune._
"In 'The Seven Seas' are displayed all of Kipling's prodigious gifts....
Whoever reads 'The Seven Seas' will be vexed by the desire to read it
again. The average charm of the gifts alone is irresistible."--_Boston
Journal._
