“At two o'clock in the morning, if you open your window and listen,You will hear the feet of the Wind that is going to call the sun.And the trees in the Shadow rustle and the trees in the moonlight glisten,And though it is deep, dark night, you feel that the night is done.”

English journalist, novelist, poet and short-story writer, born in British India

Rudyard Kipling was an English journalist, novelist, poet, and short-story writer, born in British India. He is remembered for writing across several forms, with a body of work shaped in part by the place of his birth. Kipling wrote journalism, fiction, and poetry, and British India left a clear mark on his imagination and themes. His work often reflects imperial settings and the world he knew from early life, which gave his writing a distinctive historical and geographic texture.
