Question

In The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling writes about an elephant called Kala Nag. He had 'served the Indian Government in every way that an elephant could serve it for forty-seven years, and as he was fully twenty years old when he was caught, that makes him nearly seventy-a ripe age for an elephant. This poem is from The Jungle Book'.


I will remember what I was, I am sick of rope and chain I will remember my old strength and all my forest affairs. I will not sell my back to man for a bundle of sugarcane: I will go out to my own kind, and the wood-folk in their lairs.


I will go out until the day, until the morning break Out to the wind's untainted kiss, the water's clean caress; I will forget my ankle-ring and snap my picket stake. I will revisit my lost loves, and playmates masterless!
