The Way Through The Woods’:
This poem is a part of his collection of short stories ‘Rewards and Fairies’. Each story in this
collection was followed by a poem. This poem is well-known for supernatural elements, active
life-style and paradox uses. The poem unfolds the past memories of little things that are missed
by the poet presented in flashback technique to the reader. The poem reveals Rudyard Kipling’s
love for nature, his style of writing about nature and his relationship with the nature which is also
evident in his ‘Jungle Book’, and ‘Kim’.
Summary of ‘The Way Through The Woods’:
The poem begins with the mention of a road through the woods which was closed seventy years
ago. The road was left undisturbed. For so many years, the weather and the rain have undone
the road (destroyed) the road. The place was looking as it was before formation of that road.
But now, no one could tell if there was even a road through the woods. It is because the road
has disappeared beneath the bushes and scrub of different kinds of plants. It is hidden from the
human eyes. After the road was closed, trees were planted. Those trees have grown up now, and
that road has become the part of the wood itself.
But now the road (which is not seen, and which is now a part of wood itself) is full of activity and
life. It is occupied by the ring-dove that broods there and the burrowing badger which rolls in it
playfully.
Now, if anyone goes and visits the woods in the late summer evening, he or she will come to
know that there is more to the road. The night air cools above the pools that are full of trout fish,
and the otter calls out to its mate. These creatures do not fear human presence because very
few people enter the woods.
One could hear the trampling of a horse’s hoof when the horse isn’t physically present. Perhaps,
it is a ghost from the past when the road was used by men on horseback. One could hear the
swish of skirts moving amongst dew covered grass. From these sounds, one could tell the
difference that these people move in easy walk as if they perfectly knew where the road lay, even
when a living person wouldn’t be able to distinguish it because it is no longer the road that was
there seventy years back. The poet still feels that there is surely no road through the woods.
