"The new poems 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._
