Collected Verse of Rudyard Kipling. E-book. Formato PDF Rudyard Kipling - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Men make them fires on the hearthEach under his roof-tree,And the Four Winds that rule the earthThey blow the smokes to me.Across the high hills and the seaAnd all the changeful skies,The Four Winds blow the smoke to meTill the tears are in my eyes.Until the tears are in my eyesAnd my heart is wellnigh broke;For thinking on old memoriesThat gather in the smoke.With every shift of every windThe homesick memories come,From every quarter of mankindWhere I have made me a home.Four times a fire against the coldAnd a roof against the rain -Sorrow fourfold and joy fourfoldThe Four Winds bring again!How can I answer which is bestOf all the fires that burn?I have been too often host or guestAt every fire in turn.

Captains Courageous is an 1897 novel, by Rudyard Kipling, that follows the adventures of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr., the spoiled son of a railroad tycoon, after he is saved from drowning by a Portuguese fisherman in the north Atlantic. The novel originally appeared as a serialisation in McClure's, beginning with the November 1896 edition. In 1900, in his essay “What We Can Expect of the American Boy,” Teddy Roosevelt extolled the book and praised Kipling for describing “in the liveliest way just what a boy should be and do.” The book's title comes from the ballad Mary Ambree, which starts, "When captains courageous, whom death could not daunt". Kipling had previously used the same title for an article on businessmen as the new adventurers, published in The Times of 23 November 1892.
