An interesting tidbit I learned about Kipling a few days ago. Kipling was born in India, and was raised by Indian servants in the household. As a result, he could speak the native language. Leaving India at age 6, he returned when he was 17 or so. He then married an American lady and settled in Vermont. One of my personal favorites of Kipling's poems is Gunga Din: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46783/gunga-din https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46783/gunga-din
